Your proposal for fixing 18644 is to make -Wsynth useless. I don't have
much of a problem with that, but I suspect that the user is probably using
it for a reason...

A user back in 1995 (I think) was migrating from Cfront to g++; this
warning pointed out to them places where they needed to update their code.
Now that cfront is just a memory, the warning doesn't seem that relevant
today.
