Fortunately, no one is advocating the current formatting be removed or 
even altered, only that a less spammy alternative exist.

Given the wide leeway the C and C++ standards give implementors in 
respect to what is warning-worthy, I think this is crazy.  There are far 
more compilers in the world than just GCC, and trying to make a 
warning-free build on /every/ platform is just far too much 
torment-of-the-damned for far too little benefit.
