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.
