No?  I suppose that might not be fair to some users.  But at the very
least I'd like to have some sort of --enable-all-warnings flag as part
of --enable-everything.  So right off the bat I'd be keeping an eye on
opt-mode warnings every few weeks or so.

My eventual fantasy is to also enable "-Werror" for our BuildBot tests
here.  This won't be "right off the bat" so much as "shortly after Roy
descends into madness".
