Where is -Wformat-nonliteral documented?  Because GCC documents it as:
-Wformat-nonliteral
If -Wformat is specified, also warn if the format string is not a string
literal and so cannot be checked, unless the format function takes its format
arguments as a va_list. 

Notice the last part of the sentence; this conflicts with the way clang
implements this warning.  I can't seem to find clang's documentation for half
of the options that clang implemented in the user guide.
