Hmm, that brings up a different (though minor) issue: If it's a
warning, why does it say "Error"?
Probably because -w turns warnings into errors. That's its whole schtick.
No, the whole schtick of -w is that it causes warnings to be emitted at all. It's a quirk
of the way it was designed that it treats them as errors - by returning a failure status
code, not by the wording of the compiler output.
But it's clearly a bug that this particular warning message has the label "Error:" instead
of "Warning:".

Unless it really is meant to be an error, in which case it's a bug that it is emitted only
if -w is used.
However, -wi also appears to say "Error," which definitely isn't correct.
-wi versus -w shouldn't make any difference to the wording of error messages. Only to the
status code returned by the compiler if there were any warnings.
