Then, I think we are talking past each other. To be crystal clear, my opinion is: * In the near future, make -fdiagnostics-show-caret the default at least while in experimental mode or at least during stages1 and 2. When making a release -fno-diagnostics-show-caret would be the default. Do this through a configure option that sets the default. * In the far away future, review the defaults and get rid of the configure option. Cheers, Manuel.
