I have come around on this issue (and the color output). I now think it would
be useful to have an extra verbose mode. It is clear it won't be implemented by
existing GCC devs and probably it won't be accepted in mainline GCC, so it will
have to be a plugin. 

The first step is to have a significant number of verbose descriptions. I have
started a list but it needs a lot more contributions:

http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/VerboseDiagnostics

The second step would be to enable plugins to intercept warning/error messages
and add their own actions (in this case, just printing the verbose output).
Even if nobody bothers to finish this second step, the list itself would be
helpful.
