When a tool supports both regular expressions and literal strings, which should be the default? If you default to regex, users can match more strings than they realise (e.g. `foo.txt`) or less (e.g. `foo(bar)`). I typically see regex as the default, but I prefer the opposite.

I'm experimenting with diagnostics formatting. * I've added a left margin, showing both the file name and line numbers * I'm showing one line of context above/below the offending line. * I'm using grey for comments. What do you think? Is there anything you'd change?
