No worries. We discussed this briefly in the past (see e.g. [1]). AFAIK, 
there are no plans to share diagnostics infra between Clang and Flang.

Diagnostics (and SourceLocation) in Clang are tuned for C-family 
languages. Generalising that code would be non-trivial. Personally I 
think that such code re-use would be great, but sadly we wouldn't be 
able to commit to such refactoring anytime soon.
