This wording is a bit confusing to me. Warnings from non-system headers are *not* always displayed, the point is that you can disable them with this option, right? Something like this seems more accurate to me:
```suggestion
from the main file of each translation unit
are always displayed. Diagnostics from
non-system headers it includes are displayed
by default, but can be disabled with this option.
```
(Also applies in other places where the wording is repeated)
