That comment has been there for ages, I just moved it around. But I am
happy to remove it.

Where? cxx_initialize_diagnostics is run earlier than cxx_init, so it
is now initialized earlier than before. Moreover, by putting both
together, it is clear to anyone that there are two pretty-printers,
and the comment clarifies what the second is for. I understand that
init_error means "initialize_error routines", and indeed it contained
code initializing diagnostics.
However, if the above does not convince you. What about renaming
init_error to cxx_pp_init, and move the cxx_pp initialization there so
it is clear that this function is ONLY to initialize cxx_pp and not
for anything else?
Is the patch OK with the above changes?
