Some of the warnings already use the = form, e.g. -Wformat=2.  So there 
is a conflict here.

It is unlikely that anything will happen unless you volunteer a patch.

It is probably a lot of work to go through and identify everyplace where 
a warning is used and then add an optional error check.  Probably not 
feasible unless the warning flags are redesigned a bit, which would be 
even more work.
