You crammed several suggestions into one here:
1) You're advocating the ability to turn warnings into errors. This
has been met with some resistance. I think it's a useful feature, but I
would be happy with just having warnings available. 2) This syntax doesn't allow the user to specify a list of
warnings
to enable. Which might be fine, I guess. I imagine the normal approach
would be to turn all warnings on anyway, and possibly fine-tune with
per-function directives if some functions do dangerous things on purpose. 3) You want to change the name to
"enhanced_checks". I still think
the main feature is about displaying warnings to the user. I don't
particularly like this suggestion.
