Hi Simon. I think you raise important issues here, although I believe you’re
mistaken in one regard. Hackage rejects -Werror but I don’t think it rejects
-Wall.
What I’d suggest is perhaps the following.
1) The libraries committee put forward -Wall cleanliness as an _aspirational
goal_
efactor of our warning sets would probably help in this
regard, so that the default advice could be "good code is -Wlint clean
but not necessarily -Wpedantic clean". Or even "is clean under
-Wpedantic -Wno-redundancies".
