I humbly believe this does not belong to the compiler. These sort of

checkstyle/findbugs in Java, or flake8/pep8 in Python world.
It amounts to the same thing. What you're talking about ultimately boils
down to nothing more than the trivial distinction between:
toolx ...
toola --do-x ...
And if you still prefer the former, that can be trivially created via
shell alias or a one-liner script.
OTOH, If you're talking about whether action X should be taken by
default, than that's an entirely orthogonal matter to whether or not it
can be included in the compiler.
