This is a valid concern...

...however, I don't think this would be a good approach.  I don't
think this is the kind of thing which should be controlled on a
user-by-user basis.  If we think that the majority of users--in
particular, the majority of naÃve users--would be helped by this
change, then I think we should make it, and let the minority run gcc
via a shell script.

Many compilers have some sort of code attached to their warning
messages.  This would be gcc's equivalent to that.
