Yes, and I kicked myself too because I did know it but I had totally
forgotten it in all the discussions.  Apologies to all for bungling
my post.  So, the behaviour needs to be option 2 (i.e. treat fatal
errors as all other errors/warnings), but fix the fact that it doesn't
produce diagnostics to the user.

Jordan, I will post the patch for this on cfe-commits this morning
when I'm properly awake (unlike last night!). I have just noted that
you've committed the first three parts: many thanks!!

Cheers,
Andy
