Simple things like these make a big difference. D Lang has

Diverging from the:

format is problematic because a lot of editors rely on that to
position the editor on the offending line.
It's easy to detect whether the compiler is invoked in a TTY.
Even if this turns out to be tricky, showing more helpful
information to the user with a special flag (e.g. `--explain` or
`--detailed`) is a way to go forward.
