Comment:

 Nah, off by default makes no sense for a feature that should help users
 finding their way in error messages.

 In that case, this bug should be marked as wontfix, either until the
 majority opinions on this changes or, eventually, in some shiny future,
 every programmatic consumer of error messages uses a proper API for that
 and we are free to format our error messages the way it suits the readers
 most.
