Comment (by k-bx):

 @hvr while Emacs compilation highliter (the one that lets you navigate
 through errors after `M-x compile`) is smart enough to understand current
 GHC output, I would say that lower-casing might be useful for other
 similar tools that work on top of compiler's output and are hard-coded for
 GCC/clang lower-cased "error" and "warning", so +1 from me on this.
