I understood Joseph as asking for exploring a broadened scope, so I
looked into that.

I don't understand why we do not warn by default and warn with -Wall.  I
would expect this to be either a documented extension (no warning with
-Wall), or a warning by default (because it's a conformance issue).  Is
there any conformance issue that is treated in the same way?
