For the bikeshedding question, the mathematician in me believes that using `WARNING [partial]` is more canonical. Except that there is the `deprectations` category which is suppressed with `-Wno-deprecations` (the proposal solves this in saying that `-Wno-deprecations` is actually an alias for `-Wno-x-deprecations`, why not). Pragmatically, though, the more I think about it, the more I'm favouring enforcing that the warning author write `WARNING [x-partial]` (it is also permitted to write `[deprecations]` without an x, which would avoid introducing `x-deprecations` gratuitously). The explicitness here, I think, helps. The warning category would _always_ be called `x- partial`. It's easier to process, easier to google. The cost is tiny.
thanks for the input. I also have the sense that it will be easier to understand the feature if users sees x-foo everywhere (source and command lines), and it allows later extensions. I’ll turn this into a suggestion on the PR. Cheers, Joachim -- Joachim Breitner mail@joachim-breitner.de http://www.joachim-breitner.de/
