In the past, I believe Bison has printed "warning" in front of every line
that's part of a warning. I'm not sure we should depart from that
practice.
Can you explain your motivation a little more? Is it that you want to
reuse the same *_at invocations to list variants in both the warning and
complaint cases? You could add to note_at a bool argument that specifies
whether to invoke warn_at or complain_at.
