There is a documented -fno-show-column for the preprocessor only.
Clang documents -fshow-column.  The GCC mailing lists seem to suggest
it exists, but until it is documented...

Maybe because which errors get columns is variable, until most have
the feature its not official yet.

Yes well, it doesn't have templates, but then macros and missing
brackets confuse it too.
