For what it's worth, I agree with you. But some people's nonsense is
other people's sense, and it isn't invoked by any other "group"
warning flag, like -W or -Wall, so if people want it, they can have it.
I don't want it, and I don't specify -Wfloat-equal, and I don't get it.
This was all covered when this flag was added to the compiler.
