Re: Let's fix how warnings are specified

Yes, but only at the UI level–i.e., in ‘guild compile’, along with
‘help’.

At the programming level there are better ways to do this, namely
(map car %warning-types) and %auto-compilation-options.

Ditto.

(Keep in mind that currently, #:opts (#:warnings ()) means literally
zero warnings, and #:opts (#:warnings (foo)) means “only warning foo”.)

WDYT?

Thanks,
