</div>This is an interesting viewpoint, but it should be applied<br>
consistently to all our diagnostics. I don't think that we aim to<br>
educate the programmer with diagnostics.<br>
<br>
Although we have to admit that there are programmers who learn<br>
language features by playing with their implementation in a particular<br>
compiler.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This patch matches our current approach for features which are extensions in both C99 and C++11, and I don't see a compelling reason to change that approach. LGTM, though it saddens me that we have so many different places issuing the same trio of diagnostics.</div>
