...so is this bug worth keeping open then? It'd seem kinda redundant to me for
extra, more-specific warnings about bools to be placed in -Wc90-c99-compat (as
was originally proposed), when the flag already prints the more-generalized
warnings that it currently does. Or would they get their own separate
-Wbool-arith option? If so, what would happen when a user specifies both a
hypothetical -Wbool-arith flag along with -Wc90-c99-compat at the same time?
I'm just kinda worried that such a situation could lead to duplicated and/or
excessive warnings...
