<<I disagree.  It is perfectly legitimate to issue warnings for code that
are legal ISO C but hopelessly bad style.  It would be wild obfuscation to
declare a pointer of type T1 but only initialize it with references to
objects of type T2 in all possible control flows, other than in cases
where T1 is (const,volatile,etc) char* or void* and the aliasing rules
treat these as special already.

Absolutely! Indeed warnings are typically all about code that is legal, but
bad style (you do not even need to put in hopelessly :-)
