Yeah, I haven't concerned myself with the exact wording of the error
message much, and I agree it could be improved. But passing down the
EXPR would mean that the compiler outputs "'ap' has an incomplete type"
and that looks wrong as well. I think I'm going to apply the following
tomorrow if I hear no objections (and it passes testing). Thanks for noticing.
(And I think c_incomplete_type_error deserves some TLC; I'll post a separate
patch.)
