Description Andrew Clement CLA 2012-06-12 10:54:01 EDT 
Sometimes the message about being unable to discover the perclause from the superaspect is misleading.  It doesn't necessarily indicate the super aspect is badly formed (missing an attribute) - it can mean the super aspect could not be found.  We should check for the aspect missing at the point we are about to put out the message, to ensure we put out a more helpful message in the missing case.
