You guessed it. The warnings that do mention flags aren't *so* much of
a problem, although it's still annoying that I can't turn off just one
specific warning --- e.g. if the spammy warning is about unused
parameters, I have to pass e.g. -Wno-unused to turn off *all* warnings
that relate to unused things, not just parameters.

Surely the Right Answer really is to copy EDG's way of doing it, and
assign each diagnostic a unique identifier (which is to say, a unique
integer) --- which will also help with internationalization, if anyone
ever wants to translate all the error messages to a different language
and needs to unambiguously refer to a message for that reason.
