System.NullReferenceException should say which reference is null

[vsfeedback]

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

If you have a long line of code that does a lot of things and you get a System.NullReferenceException on that line, VS highlights the whole line and doesn't give any further information as to which reference is null, which can be hard to figure out.

It would be nice if it could say that specifically "import.Fields" is null
