We are currently implementing the existing GCC checks with Sema's
CFG-based warnings. Future warnings and checks (e.g. which we do not
have a large amount of previous experience using) will start as
checkers in the static analyzer while they are being evaluated (and
only migrate into the compiler proper upon consensus).

Great! Thanks!
