For reference rust has a error codes index, clicking on an error code gives examples and explanations.
Should we do something similar? How could we implement it.
Perhaps extracting rendered scaladoc is good enough, I could also imagine using infrastructure similar to Scala CLI where documentation for using directives is generated using annotations directly on the source code of the error message.
Ive also seen a suggestion that the compiler itself could explain errors from the command line, rather than hosting a website see here
Also this brings back the issue of should we remove the capability to report an error/warning from just a string (i.e. enforce
ErrorMessageID
