One question: in general we are using the term "command-line option".
You are introducing two uses of "flag", and the two existing uses of
that are also in the Fortran section.  Is this Fortran terminology or
would it be fine to make this more consistent?

Well, "flag" is GCC teminology (see "man gcc"), though it seems to be only used for the -f* options while I (mis)used it here for -W*. I think it is better to use the more common term "command-line option".
