<pre>
    `int square(int const num);` has the source location `1:12`, which is the start of the type. While the command-line diagnostic shows squiggly lines underneath the `const`, editors are tricked into putting squigglies under `int`, which leads some programmers to think that there's something wrong with the type.

`int square(const int num)` renders correctly, so I suspect that the current logic is making an assumption about the placement of `const`.
