I don't expect to be in a position to be actively maintaining again for
some months.  Half the deprecation should be easy - modify
pedantic_non_lvalue.  Getting a deprecation warning for the other half - 
casts of an lvalue to its own type (which -pedantic turns into a hard 
error, not a warning) may be more tricky.
