    Even gcc's authors don't agree with themselves about these warnings.
    Never mind -Wall, just try to build gcc with CFLAGS=-W.  I'd expect -W
    to express their opinion about warnings a program at LEAST should avoid.

It was never intended to mean that.  -W is a set of warnings I expect
many users to want, but that does not imply every programmer *should*
use it or that every program *should* get no warnings with -W.

It is a little unfair to say this means we "don't agree with
ourselves".
