:I disagree.  As has been shown many times in the past (and I suspect the
:down-under constituent will show that at least a couple of the
:'warnings' fixes will be wrong and hide bogus code), making -Wall a goal

:'-Wall' is *NOT* a good design goal.

    Nonsense.  -Wall does *NOT* contribute to a bad programmer programming
