I'd be happy to accept this one.
In fact I'd prefer it if
- -wpartial-record-selectors and -wpartial-record-updates were in -Wall
- But -wpartial-fields should definitely not be in -Wall because there
is absolutely nothing wrong with using named fields to help with pattern
matching and record construction -- places were partiality is not an issue
