I understand the desire, but at the same time, the whole goal of this patch is to improve the presentation of the diagnostic. You can't invite us all to a bikeshed painting party and then ask us not to use our brushes, that's just cruel! :-D

That's still my preference as well. Splitting across multiple lines with hard line breaks has some issues for some IDEs that want to display diagnostic information in a listbox (IIRC), so I'd rather we avoid ad hoc use of line breaks in diagnostics for the moment (it'd be easier/more appropriate if we were making a diagnostic policy for using multiple lines, but that'd involve an RFC and is more effort than I think is needed for this patch).

I'm fine either way.
