I understand that.
I question whether it is necessary that users see an
error-promoted-from-a-warning differently than an
error-that-was-always-an-error.
As I've indicated, if we do think it's necessary then:
>> error: [WNNNN] <the message>
is my first choice. My second choice is to add [was warning] or,
perhaps, [disable with -W] or [disable with -Wfoobar].
Thanks,
