This comment needs work.  The parameter is GMSGID.  There are two other
parameters not mentioned.  The ", thus" is a run-on sentence.  "is
supposed to be" is inappropriate in an interface specification.  Please
replace the last two sentences with:

  Use this function to report diagnostics for constructs that are
invalid C++98, but valid C++0x.

and document the other parameters.

OK with that change.

It's in no way material to this patch, but I wish you would not put so
much of the error text into test-cases.  I realize that you feel it's
important to test the exact message, but I feel that this just creates a
disincentive to make small changes to improve the text of a message.

Thanks,
