> Fully qualifying all types in error messages leads to unreadable error messages.

I would say if the compiler ever sees `if(t1.toChars == t2.toChars) print
toPrettyChars instead`.

But there's another option too.... just output the unreadable error messages on
a compiler switch and let external programs like IDEs filter them.

The switch could be `-v`, though I still actually really want to see XML error
messages, they could list soooooo much info for ides or external filters.
