-Wextra-errors sounds like it turns the messages from -Wextra into errors.
(The regular form for that in line with other similar options would be
-Werror-extra - and any general warning control scheme would probably lead
to such options corresponding to each warning option - but -Wextra-errors
still sounds too similar to -Werror-extra.)
