Wildly incorrect parse error

See original GitHub issue

My build.sbt looks like:

import com.unhandledexpression.sbtclojure.ClojurePlugin.clojure
import Keys

scalaVersion := "2.11.6"

seq(clojure.settings :_*)

resolvers += "clojars" at "http://clojars.org/repo/"

libraryDependencies += "org.scalatest" % "scalatest_2.11" % "2.2.4" % "test"
libraryDependencies += "org.scalacheck" %% "scalacheck" % "1.12.2" % "test"
libraryDependencies += "org.clojure" % "clojure" % "1.6.0"
libraryDependencies += "instaparse" % "instaparse" % "1.4.0"

// Remove the clojurec Task from the standard `compile` dependencies
clojure.clojurec in Compile := Seq.empty

clojure.clojurec <<= clojure.clojurec.dependsOn(Keys.compile)

(I’m using the sbt-clojure plugin for clojure interop.) Things get interesting when I run sbt:

$ sbt

Not only is this error message unhelpful, there is no semicolon anywhere in the file at all!

There’s a PR against scala to offer a less cryptic message.
