How many such messages would be generated? If there are only a few,
perhaps it isn't worth it, but if there could be hundreds of them, then
perhaps it is worth it.

Could a front-end reasonably transform these warnings into something
meaningful to the programmer? Thinking of my own languages, or even C++,
it seems like it might be impossible to translate a lower-level warning.
Quite often the warnings are about things the programmer can't even
control in the high-level language.
