Comment (by Lemming):

 I understand -Wall as the option that allows reasonably designed code to
 pass without warnings. There are good reasons to have redundant
 constraints as I sketched in the ticket description. It's crucial to be
 able to make code -Wall warning-free otherwise relevant warnings are
 easily overlooked in a flood of irrelevant warnings. According to my
 programming style I often add e.g. -fwarn-incomplete-uni-patterns -fwarn-
 tabs -fwarn-missing-import-lists. They match my style of programming but
 seem to interfere with other's style, thus they are not part of -Wall.
