I sort of agree with you about the -W's. Indeed I was going to combine
the C++ one with mine until Stan talked me out of it :-) However,
there seems to
be precedent for this in the -Wunused... guys.
As for the default, it is ON as shown in the toplev.c patch, i.e.,
+ int warn_deprecated_decl = 1;
We'll work on the docs for this. Stay tuned...
