Comment (by Lemming):

 Replying to [comment:29 svenpanne]:
 > Just a word of warning from a library maintainer's point of view:
 Including new flags into `-Wall` puts some non-trivial burden onto
 maintainers wanting a warning-free build. Simply adding a new pragma is
 not enough: Old GHCs don't know that pragma, so you have to put that into
 some ugly `#ifdef`s, which in turn oftern implies adding another
 (language) pragma to allow the preprocessor plus perhaps some changes in
 the `.cabal` file.

 I don't like CPP and would prefer that GHC gets a switch to disable
 warnings about certain pragmas.
 This was proposed in #2867. It should be possible to disable those
 warnings globally in the Cabal file.
