Comment (by thomie):

 Is it by design that `-Wno-unrecognised-warning-flags` should come first
 on the command line?

 {{{
 $ ghc-8.0.1 Test.hs -Wno-unrecognised-warning-flags -Wfoo
 # no warning, as expected

 $ ghc-8.0.1 Test.hs -Wfoo -Wno-unrecognised-warning-flags
 on the commandline: warning: unrecognised warning flag: -Wfoo
 }}}
