Tread carefully here. The standards require "diagnostics", not
warnings. And the warnings from gcc -pedantic and other compiler's
equivalent go far beyond anything mandated by the standards.

You probably know that, but it is probably worth mentioning for
readers less familiar with the way the standards are written.
