Subject: [PATCH] fix: improved error messages

Currently, when the parser encounters an invalid keyword inside a function or a structure it gives an invalid function statement or invalid member definition error instead of stating that an invalid keyword was found. This was written as a response to the feature request of better error messages when loops are used inside structs but expands on it to include all possible invalid keywords
