           Summary: Colorize error messages emitted by dmd

           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1

          Reporter: bugzilla at digitalmars.com

Some basic colorization has already been implemented as the solution to
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12273

But we can go further with that by taking inspiration from Ddoc. In
verrorPrint(), the message string can be scanned for text enclosed by `...`.
This text can then be syntax color highlighted analogously to the way Ddoc does
it. This should nicely improve the look of error messages.
