Implemented. I put the `NoteTemplateParameterLocation` call after the diag, so it appears as:
```
source.cpp:80:5: error: no matching function for call to 'foo'
80 | foo<false>();
| ^~~~~~~~~~
3
source.cpp:77:13: note: candidate template ignored: invalid explicitly-specified argument: could not convert 'false' from 'bool' to 'endianness'
77 | inline void foo() {}
| ^
source.cpp:76:22: note: template parameter is declared here
76 | template <endianness e>
| ^
```
Let me know if that looks good.
Separately, I found an interesting case that I had not caught before due to the more generic `//expected-note {{invalid explicitly-specified argument}}` allowing the confusing error message seen below. The case from `clang/test/CXX/temp/temp.param/p8-cxx20.cpp`
```
namespace ConstDestruction {
struct D {
int n;
bool can_destroy;
constexpr ~D() {
if (!can_destroy)
throw "oh no"; // expected-note {{subexpression not valid}}
}
};
template<D d>
void f() {} // expected-note 2{{invalid explicitly-specified argument}}
void g() {
f<D{0, true}>();
f<D{0, false}>(); // expected-error {{no matching function}}
}
}
```
The root cause being an ill-formed constexpr. In this case, the diag message `candidate template ignored: invalid explicitly-specified argument: could not convert 'D{0, false}' from 'D' to 'D'` cannot be what we want. Although it is an invalid explicitly specified argument, it seems to be to be in a separate category from other tests. Should I look into emitting a unique error message along the lines of `template argument ‘D{0, false}’ is not a valid constant expression`?
