No. Different projects need to enable different sets of warnings. That's why
the warnings have names, so that we can selectively enable or selectively
disable them.

Look again at these examples:
nw="$nw -Wsystem-headers"       # Don't let system headers trigger warnings
nw="$nw -Wundef"                # All compiler preprocessors support #if UNDEF
nw="$nw -Wtraditional"          # All compilers nowadays support ANSI C
