I see, so the compiler warnings (including the GNU escape symbols
detection) are enabled at Debug mode only.
What is the reason avoid compile warnings with the Release mode?
'meson setup' uses Release mode by default (unless no cmdline options
override it) and I bet most of the contributors are just going to use
this default. Having warnings enabled with the default setup
eliminates potential WTF moments.
