For anyone who likes puzzles, I'd recommend reading the code that deals with all that DA/DU stuff in javac. I prototyped a language change in javac last year, and spent more time on understanding and subtly changing that code just to get a better error message than I did on anything else.

All Neal's fault actually - nobody else complained about my diagnostic messages ;)
