No, we don't.  The format specific is OK -- e.g. it should be %qD.  However,
the caller of error() should make sure it gives a _DECL.  It isn't 
really the diagnostic machinery's business here to second guess
a type error correction.

Of course, it would have been better if we had diagnostics with carret...
