Subject: "warning" with or without a colon in a diagnostic message?
The gcc compiler uses a colon, so does "clang" in their "message" part
of an diagnostics.
The "GNU coding standards" (https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/)
does not show an example for the message part.
It is better to be able to seek only one version of "warning?" and
"error?" than two.
Examples from src/...
src/roff/troff/input.cpp: fprintf(stderr, "warning [page %d, line %d",
src/roff/troff/input.cpp: fprintf(stderr, "warning [page %d, %.1f%c", s
