| This does sound like a useful feature, not only for

| Thoughts, comments?
The is a front end-independent infrastructure in place to name
diagnostics and filer them -- used by most GCC front ends. Only
Gfortran seems to build its own ghetto.
[ Please don't use such offensive wording, there is no
"ghetto-building going on here. ]
The front-end independent infrastructure is not independent enough to
support the format of errors/warnings that gfortran writes out.
Gfortran writes out the line in the source file that has the issue,
and uses carrets to pin-point the location of the issue. The language
independent infrastructure unfortunately still cannot do this.
