What's the GNATS policy about PRs that issue an ICE in development
versions and a "confused by earlier errors, bailing out" message in
release versions?
We should mark those PRs medium-priority.
GCC simply doesn't have a coherent design for error-recovery, and until
it does the set of places where we crash after error messages will move
around from time to time, hopefully shrinking over time. I have ideas
about this, but not enough time to implement them ...
