The following code produces some terrible diagnostics:
int *test(UnknownType *fool) { return 0; }

<stdin>:1:11: error: use of undeclared identifier 'UnknownType'
int *test(UnknownType *fool) { return 0; }
          ^
<stdin>:1:24: error: use of undeclared identifier 'fool'; did you mean 'bool'?
int *test(UnknownType *fool) { return 0; }
                       ^
<stdin>:1:29: error: expected ';' after top level declarator
int *test(UnknownType *fool) { return 0; }
                            ^
                            ;
3 errors generated.

Nick's comment on our internal bug:
Because it didn't know "UnknownType" it tried to autocorrect fool to bool. No
clang, no. And then what's with putting the ; after it, this is a function
definition!
