   That probably shouldn't have been merged. It often shows some useful bugs, 
but 
   also shows some unwarranted warnings.

I consider that option ideal for an activate->compile->look for
something fishy->deactivate process :)

   In the longer term, we should be using some more targeted warning
   flags, and trying to fix the warnings.

Agreed.
