Also even if we'll introduce an over-eager warning having many
positives, there are still many possibilities besides changing the
standard to satisfy such a warning.  For example, g++ -Wdangling-
reference has many false positives (IMO it's over-eager) so a
no_dangling attribute has been added to allow suppressing it.
