Tangentially: "we treat warnings as errors on CI" -- It'd be great if local 
builds could have that behavior by default, so we (or just I?) don't get caught 
by surprise when warnings-as-errors appear after landing.

Or at least: Can I opt-in locally? (I tried 'ac_add_options 
--enable-warnings-ar-errors' in mozconfig, but that was not recognized.)
