Ok, I'll implement a pull and see what others think about it.

GCC and DMC don't add a period either. I think it's purely accidental, some
tools do, others don't (and sometimes it's mixed). I don't mind such issues
though. Personally I worry much more about things like this:

void main()
{
    void function(int x, int y, float z) funcC;
    void function(int x, float y, int z) funcD;
    funcC = funcD;
}

Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (funcD) of type void function(int
x, float y, int z) to void function(int x, int y, float z)

It would make it much easier to debug such cases if the error spanned multiple
lines and aligned the types, for example:

Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (funcD) of type 
void function(int x, float y, int z) to 
void function(int x, int y, float z)
