I have brought this up before. Maybe I should open an enhancement
request? GCC (g++) already does this, for example:

	/tmp/test.c:3:12: error: cannot convert ‘const char*’ to ‘CSPTR {aka int*}’ in initialization

where int* has been typedef'd to CSPTR. Note that both are shown, which
is important because sometimes you need one, and sometimes the other.
