Because the two different diagnostics make it easier to grep for.

For example, Intel C++ compiler finds case 1, but says nothing
about case 2. Easy to grep for.

GNU C++ produces the same message for case 1 and case 2, leading
to a lot of time wasting manual checking of diagnostics.

Surely case 1 is much more likely to be programmer error than case 2 ?
