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.
