Well, it got discussed and then none had time (or interest?) to actually
implement it. Now that we have _Pragma in, there is nothing really blocking
implementation of '#pragma GCC waring ...', that is besides of volunteers to
actually do it ;-)

Well, my favourite is still much easier to implement. I'd simply use the
name of a warning to specify it. Thus you'd do something like this:
#pragma GCC warning push
#pragma GCC warning unused off
<some code>
#pragma GCC warning pop.
What we might need for this to get really usefull would be to make warnings
more fine grained.
