Thanks for that update, Nick. Surely interesting reading.
Are you planning another update for March or so? ;-)

In the meantime there have been many additions to gcc-7/changes.html,
and I believe except for
+ -Wbool-operation warns about suspicious operations on
expressions of a boolean type. For instance, bitwise negation
of a boolean is very likely a bug in the program. For C, this
warning also warns about incrementing or decrementing a boolean,
which rarely makes sense.
everything should be more or less covered now.
Still, additions very welcome, guys. Let me know if you need help.
