- I don't like the idea of printing a runtime warning either - users
are likely to ignore such things anyway.

- Different behavior with different -std= switches should be avoided
if possible - it just makes coding and testing more difficult than it
already is.

So my preference would be to generate an error, or if this is a common
extension in other compilers, accept it silently (and add a note about
it in the manual).
