I don't think Emacs can do that.  I don't look at other editors any
more, so I don't know if any can do what you want.  With Emacs,
though, I generally recognize simple syntax errors of this sort
because the next line doesn't indent correctly.  While not as
immediately obvious as what you suggest, for me it generally suffices.
