This patch is meant to be applied on top of the "Wparentheses overhaul" patch.I really think that warning about the dangling else problem isn't appropriate as a part of the -Wparentheses warning, which I think should only deal with stuff like precedence of operators, i.e. things where ()'s are missing and not {}'s. This new warning is, however, a subset of -Wparentheses. Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux, ok for trunk or should I stash it for the next stage1?
I think it's not appropriate for now. I'm ambivalent about the concept; my (vague) recollection is that putting it under -Wparentheses was Kenner's idea, and it's been there so long that I'm not sure there's really a point to changing this. In a sense it is a very similar problem as operator precedence.
