OK, I missed that in the release notes. Two points here:
* The naming of the options is horrible, sometimes it's "sigs",
sometimes it's "signatures". I would prefer if we named them consistently
(probably "signatures", it's easier to search for).
* Given the myriad of warning-related options, It is *extremely* hard to
figure out which one caused the actual warning in question. The solution to
this is very easy and done this way in clang/gcc (don't remember which one,
I'm switching quite often): Just suffix all warnings consistently with the
option causing it, e.g.
Top-level binding with no type signature: [ -Wmissing-pat-syn-sigs]:
<code causing the warning>
Cheers,
S.
