| No, it is just different historically.  Gfortran has its own diagnostics
| reporting system, and at some point, when the generic system used by the
| C family front ends finally gets support for carets, it should be changed
| to use that instead.  Until then, this is not a bug in gfortran, but a

No.  The current scheme used in gfortran finds its place in the
current diagnostic machinery: Have BEGIN_DIAGNOSTIC output the carret,
and let the general machinery handle the rest.
