Such a feature would be compiler-specific, to the format
of the particular vendor's diagnostics. If my ancient
Ada-83 experience is still valid, for some compilers,
the reference in the error message is completely useless.
And the best diagnostics come from GNAT, which does not
put in RM references usually (because they mean nothing
to newbies). Instead, they actually explain the problem.
Some vendors code diagnostic messages that are perfectly
clear only to the compiler coders.
