A hint can be provided where the original error is diagnosed. I doubt hints on cascaded errors would be of any use.

if you have function like

"public intd Test() { ... typing new line }"

then you will not provide hints when writing that new line due to "intd" being invalid type?

A function's declaration is not affected by its body, so that shouldn't be a problem.
