I think -Wextra is generally too noisy for that, but I guess we're now
deeply in arguing about taste territory.

One problem with that is that leaving trivial/irrelevant/incorrect
warnings makes it easier to miss important warnings. That being said, I
fully agree that one should resist the urge to just get rid of warnings
in whatever way. (I tend to cringe whenever a commit log says something
along the lines of "fix warning" — a change either fixes a problem which
was pointed out by the warning, or it just silences the warning.)
