 When you misspell the name of a flag, GHC outputs a nice list of similar
 flags that do exist:
 {{{
 $ ghc-8.0.1 -W-redundant-constraints
 ghc: unrecognised flag: -W-redundant-constraints
 did you mean one of:
   -Wredundant-constraints
   -Wno-redundant-constraints
   -fwarn-redundant-constraints
 }}}

 But since the `-fwarn` flags are deprecated, they should not be suggested.
 Neither should any of the other deprecated flags.

 For a newcomer: the code is `compiler/main/DynFlags.hs`.
