Given all of this chat, what would folks think about an optional

That should have read 'run with a trailing plan' because 'no plan'
is a
parse failure. A trailing plan generally means the plan is computed
from the number of tests run.
Obviously I'm in the "don't mind no_plan" camp - but since it's
optional :-)

I have no idea what to name that switch, though, as 'warnings' is
already taken to enable warnings in the programs. '--tap-warnings' is
probably a decent choice even though I prefer '--squeal-like-a-pig'.
(Well, -w and -W are taken, '--warnings' is not, but '--warnings'
seems
like it would be too confusing)
It would be nice if the warnings could be made more granular. For
example I like trailing plans, but non-TAP output might be an issue.
Maybe an .*rc file of some kind ala Perl::Critic?
