In the spirit of this, a lot of (rather tedious) work needs to be done on the
error messages themselves to enable color syntax highlighting. Specifically,
replacing ' ' with ` `, and adding ` ` around %s formats when code is being
emitted to the %s.
It's tedious because of all the messages in test/fail_compilation/* that need
updating.
It would also be helpful to pull things like:
