We build everything with -Werror so errors are flagged as
fatal.  If we added -pedantic, we'd have to stop using
-Werror, and implement the fatal error check ourselves in
a wrapper, which would be a huge pain.

gcc-4.1 had a stated goal of giving every warning a name,
and letting them be turned on and off individually.  See
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Warning%20Message%20Control
I thought I was asking for something along the same lines.
I can't understand why anybody would oppose
the ability to turn on and off warnings selectively;
Jason, are you also opposed to that feature of gcc-4.1?

I am all in favor of forcing code to be C++ compliant,
but I have to tell you I just spent the last year
whipping a codebase into shape in that regard, and
I'd really like to be able to pick my battles,
and not have to fight the tools to do so.
