better error message for illegal 'collection dereference' in HQL query
----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HHH-2534
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2534
             Project: Hibernate3
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: query-hql
            Reporter: Steve Ebersole
            Assignee: Steve Ebersole
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 3.2.3


Currently, when a user dereferences a collection improperly in an HQL query, a sorta cryptic error message is given which is a hold-over from the classic parser days (kept for regression testing in HQLTest).  The error just says "illegal syntax near collection: ${propertyName}".  

Use a delegate in DotNode to allow a better error message by default, but for HQLTest to plugin a "classic" style error message generator.
