If you're not sure what I mean, it says > Thread 'name' panicked at 'msg', location when it should say > Thread 'name' panicked at location, 'msg'

well i'm gonna break a lot of panic output soon, maybe time to fix that :P

I opened https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/67034 … after being unable to find an issue and multiple folks saying they don't see any problem with fixing it (I expected to find a closed issue that was like "oh yeah this is wrong but there's tooling out there parsing this so we can't change it")

Does your perception change if you think of it as 'step' or 'marker' (rather than 'msg') followed by more technical location detail?

Nope, it still sounds wrong (and I went code spelunking to find where it was introduced to see that it was not intentional, which is why I know it's been 7.5 years)
