I'm curious why you feel readability decreases?  I still see what file
is being compiled and the full output the errors.  The only
information I loose and need to switch on full mode for is the full
compiler flags used in the compile, most of which probably aren't
directly related to compiling this particular file and in my
experience are very rarely needed to understand a compiler error or
warning.   Readability is increased because the warnings are not lost
in the lines and lines of command line output (see my last reply)

Thanks for testing, that is indeed what was expected.

I'm sure they will get in before this (if it does), in which case I'll
rebase this stuff, no problem.
