Including "so" does not actually make what you write follow from the preceding. If you want to make the argument that there is no unterminated string because there is no string in the first place, then the logical conclusion is still that -Wunterminated-string-initialization should not warn about that. If you want a warning for something other than unterminated strings, that should be a different warning, not -Wunterminated-string-initialization.
