I jumped in on that so quickly because I almost always use wall=t when
compiling a source I just edited from within the editor. Which of course
is quite a pain sometimes, arising from lower modules not in my scope at
that time.. At least having the non-virtual-dtor warning, or any other
warning we have to disable because of certain files can't be changed for
compatibility reasons but are not included frequently, in wall=t is
better than disabling it completely. One should always be able to
override it though, in case it gets too annoying in some scenario.

I wonder whether awareness of the need to use mechanisms like wall=t and
assertions _and fix_ occurences can be raisen.
