Well, coming to think of it, there are other complications in gfortran's error
printing code: error messages are buffered, so that if one matcher determines
that the statement is not a correct instance of the statement it's trying to
match, a later matcher still can accept the statement without an error message
being printed.  I have no idea how well this mechanism would fit in with the
common machinery.
