Yeah - I think that's an easier interface to use, otherwise all the code ends up having to do:

```cpp
if (ShouldDiagnoseBlah(...))
   DiagnoseBlah(...); // If you construct the diagnostic inline then as the checks become
                         // richer every call site has to work out the full diagnostic message
```

And yes, the result should be `void` - I was thinking in terms of Sema checks that can fail the diagnostics due to the error breaking further tests which is not the case here: warnings by definition don't cause this problem.
