Suggestion

 

I was just chatting with someone on IRC in the kicad users forum, and discovered the potential for a great feature.

It was a simple mistake on the users part, where a label did not match another label. No big deal right? Until you start getting into much larger schematics. 

Then I thought why not use a software IDE idea. Syntax completion highlighting. Like when you have two matching brace brackets you get a highlight on the first.

You could build it into the ERC and just change the colour to identify the error, or use the arrow.
