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.
