 Another diagnostic feature is to not just use the caret (we have discussed

 Yes, we discussed it before. The Digital Mars C/C++ compiler does this, and 
 NOBODY CARES.
 Not one person in 25 years has ever even commented on it. Nobody commented on 
 its lack in dmd.
 It's a waste of time to implement things nobody cares about.


I think that is a nice feature to have in a compiler. No life-chaging, no
critical, but still nice.
