--- Comment #1 from Manuel López-Ibáñez <manu at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Agreed. It seems that in order to get the desired warning, the solution was to
change the type and warn implicitly, rather than detect the potential cases
explicitly. This is a quite ugly hack.

On the other hand, I don't expect an existing GCC developer to fix this, given
the long history of -Wwrite-strings. Someone new will have to step up,
implement it and defend it in front of the C FE maintainers.
