How do you feel about putting the eval compilation errors in the "Output" panel, instead of the "Problems" panel?

This is how proto-repl displays compilation errors, and I think it is more convenient, since one doesn't need to click or hotkey to the other panel for feedback.

From a workflow perspective, it just feels clunky to me to have to change panels to see all the Repl output. I don't want to move my cursor, and I don't want to memorize the hotkeys to switch between the Output and Problems panes.

Moreover, from a logical perspective, should the repl compiler errors even fall under "Problem", anyways?
The blank Problems window reads: No problems have been detected in the workspace so far.

The eval compilation may fail due to issues that are not directly related to your workspace, your code, etc. For example, when you eval a function (foo) without first evaluating (defn foo [] ()). Therefore I think that categorically speaking, Output may be a more fitting place for the repl compilation errors.
