--- Comment #10 from Eric Gallager <egallager at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Paolo Carlini from comment #2) > Thanks.

Instead of renaming -Wuseless-cast to -Wcast-to-the-same-type how about splitting the 2 into separate warnings? -Wuseless-cast for actually useless ones and -Wcast-to-the-same-type for ones that are just to the same type but not necessarily useless. That's kind of the same as adding levels, but addresses some of my usual complaints about numerical warnings levels, such as having them be separately controllable.
