No, because those are already in bugzilla, and there's a whole wiki page about improving that particular warning. But I'd be just as happy with a -Wstandard (by any name) enabled by default as I would be with -Wall on by default. Only enabling warnings with very little chance of false positives would avoid most of the negative consequences.
