Yes, it will be printed the same way and have the same severity as any
other error.

I think I have misinterpreted your initial post, sorry about that.
To correct myself, compilers do print "error:" prefixes, and for

filename:row:column: error: error-message
filename:row:column: warning: warning-message

So on second thought your suggestion makes sense :).
