I agree on this in principle. However, from the comments of Joseph in
the PR, it is unclear in which direction the implementation should go.
Quoting Joseph:

"pedwarn" is simply a GCC-internal function name for diagnosing
constraint violations and should
not be allowed to influence command-line option names.  -pedantic-errors
means something like -Werror=standard-required-diagnostics and a pedwarn
enabled by default is a standard-required diagnostic enabled by default
(as opposed to a warning enabled by default which is a
non-standard-required diagnostic enabled by default).  There is no
particular reason to allow people to disable standard-required default
diagnostics as a group separately from non-standard-required ones; think
about more useful classifications of the existing enabled-by-default
diagnostics to work out suitable option names for disabling them."

Which seems to suggest that we add an option name for each pedwarn
enabled by default. Is this also what you suggest?

Cheers,

Manuel.
