Let's do it here instead, since that differential requires some changes to this script.

In it's current state, `CHECK-MESSAGES` implies `-implicit-check-not={{warning|error}}`,
and `CHECK-NOTES` will imply `-implicit-check-not={{note|error}}`.
I.e. they both imply `-implicit-check-not=error`.
So **if** the check produces any `error:` output, **and** you want to use **both** the `CHECK-NOTES` and `CHECK-MESSAGES`,
you need to write the check-line for every `error: ` with both the `CHECK-NOTES` and `CHECK-MESSAGES` prefixes. 
This seems sub-optimal.

I don't have a //strong// preference, but if that works i would **prefer** to go that route, since that is what the initial intended semantics of the `CHECK-NOTES`.
**If** that works for you?
