That would be really ugly for those of us that use gcc from an IDE or with Emacs; the IDE or Emacs parses the file name and line number and allows the programmer to step from one error to the next in a window, where the context of the error is clear. If you want to see the context of your errors, I suggest that you use one of these solutions.
