<pre>Often times, users are not satisfied with single line diagnostic messages.
People desire a longer narrative, something which engages them on a more
literary level. To this end, I propose adding --tell-me-a-story flag to Clang
which will cause Clang to enter story mode and enthrall users with majestic
tales involving their favorite language constructs. For example:
$ clang --tell-me-a-story
Once upon a time, a young string literal was told that he could be anything
when he grew up. He didn't much like being a string literal and wanted very
much to be a bool instead. So he journeyed far and wide, looking for the
perfect bit of code. Eventually, he came to be inside an if-statement. And
thus, "his wish" became true.</pre>
