I want my "compiler" "compiling" in the background of my IDE at all
times, as I type.  I want undefined identifiers (or thing that appear
to be indentifiers) to be colored red (or whatever) until I fix them
up.  etc.  As helpful as possible without being annoying (ie no
dialogs pop up or anything like that).

Once my code will actually pass a compile, I want it to already have.  :-)
