I'll close this now. I guess if we want to make progress on this, we will 
probably have to evaluate every individual warning separately, and add those 
which does make sense (e.g. `import-preprocessor-directive-pedantic`), and 
ignore the rest. I personally will not have time nor interest in driving this 
forward, at least not right now.
