Absolutely. Thanks to Jonathan Wakely, we did change quite a few. However, right now, I don't have neither the free time nor the knowledge of the ISO C++ standard to go through all of them and evaluate whether they should be pedwarns or permerrors. So, just grep pedwarn gcc/cp/*.c and s/pedwarn/permerror/ as you see fit. A tip: if it is guarded by "if (pedantic)" it should probably stay as pedwarn. It doesn't make sense for a permerror to be guarded by the "pedantic" flag. Moreover, you will probably find things that we don't handle well when using fpermissive, so they should be just errors. Thanks, Manuel.
