Would you be happy with something like?

t.c:9: error: lvalue required as increment operand
t.c:9: note: a cast is not a lvalue

Perhaps we could even pack it in a single line.

The feasibility of this depends on whether we can get this information when we
emit the diagnostic. I think if someone wants to pursue it, it shouldn't be
difficult. So why not keep it open? Low-hanging fruit like this is ideal for
newbies.
