Do I correctly understand that "doing this on lexer level" would mean to
implement this as a warning directly into clang? If yes, would it be possible
to generate fixits and have them possibly applied automatically (as it is the
case for clang-tidy)?

The main rational for this check is to enforce consistency and thus make it
easier to read and comprehend the code.
I agree with your proposed diagnostics.
