Thanks for the info! I'll start using -w for all my projects.

It's mandatory if you compile with -w. Eventually, it will be
mandatory all
the time. It's just that it's being phased in via -w rather
than requiring it
immediately. That way, people have time to fix their code to
use it before it's
required. Unfortunately though, a lot of people fail to compile
with either -w
or -wi, so they're happily writing _new_ code which will break
once override
is always required, which means that phasing like this doesn't
necessarily
actually fix the problem.
