Not to put words into Eli's mouth, but I think that what he meant is
that one can not use current diagnostic infrastructure as-is without a
preprocessor.  But if one copies the code and deletes irrelevant
parts, it can be made useful (or it might be easier for a newcomer to
rewrite the whole thing from scratch, because it becomes very simple
-- who knows).
