BUG: Wrong position in error message

The Gold parser engine gives wrong line number in error messages - most of the times wrong by 1 I think that it is not a bug per se, but the position is 0 based, and tabs are counted as 1 symbol.

First problem is that the GoldParser gives the _GoldParser.CurrentPosition as 0 based, and this is easily remedied.

The second problem is that a text editor as Notepad++ counts a tab for example as 4 symbols, but this can vary between editors and various settings. Thus, a strategy must be devised to deal with the issue in the future.

For now, I have just fixed the 0 based part of the problem.
