Comment at: clang-tools-extra/test/clang-tidy/infrastructure/verify-config.cpp:12

+// CHECK-VERIFY-DAG: command-line option '-config': warning: Unknown Check 'readability-else-after-ret'; did you mean 'readability-else-after-return'
+// CHECK-VERIFY-DAG: command-line option '-config': warning: Unknown Check Option 'modernize-lop-convert.UseCxx20ReverseRanges'; did you mean 'modernize-loop-convert.UseCxx20ReverseRanges'

> Ah, thanks for explaining your logic. FWIW, Clang uses a different style for that (`<command line>`): https://godbolt.org/z/f1rdsbjqe Perhaps we should follow suit? (In fact, we could use the diagnostic engine for this instead of emitting to the error stream ourselves?)
The issue is, we don't have the actual source information right now to print better error messages.
