The argument that won out in discussion with rnk was that we want the nice
name (-Wshadow) to be usable by default. This won't be the first time our
-Wshadow doesn't warn on something that GCC's does; we already suppress
warnings on a variable shadowing a function that GCC warns about (or at
least, used to).
