Comment (by simonmar):

 It's perfectly fine for `-Wall` to contain warnings that sometimes need to
 be disabled, for reasons of personal taste or necessity.  A lot of our
 code has `-Wall -fno-warn-unused-do-binds -fno-warn-name-shadowing`, and
 it's quite often necessary to throw in a `-fno-warn-orphans` when there's
 no reasonable way to avoid an orphan.
