RE: [PATCH] Introduce warning -Womp-default-scope


> a) I don't like the option name, -Womp-no-default-clause would be IMHO better

a bit related to b), I first had  -Womp-no-default-none-clause but it becomes long and contains twice 'no' (also consider the no-omp-no-default... form). 
If you like that more, I'll make that change (see below) otherwise I retain the current form.

I would still like to warn for those, default(shared) is equivalent to just leaving it out, and unfortunately, I have observed bugs with explicit default(shared/private). Usually caused by people updating code in large parallel sections, not realizing that they are in an OMP region. This is essentially what I would like to catch and to (effectively) enforce default(none). It is somewhat similar to the -fimplicit-none option in the Fortran FE.

Like so (and associated code/test changes) ?
