Fear me. I combined Walter's code with my own to form some kind

I think the compiler's error design could use a complete
overhaul. I'm wondering if it wouldn't be wise to start a new git
branch for all changes to error messages. Call it
`stderr.experimental` or something cute like that. The idea is
that D won't break people's test code that checks error output
until a more complete design has been worked out and approved of.
I'm not in favor of or against this idea. I just wanted to
propose it.
