I would also vote for this being on by default rather than off by default. We usually try to avoid adding new, off-by-default warnings because they are basically undiscoverable warnings that no one enables (unless we're adding them for GCC compatibility and GCC default ignores). I would be fine if it was only enabled with -Wall.
