If they are permitted, they should be handled. If they are not handled, we
should fail to compile or crash. Currently we just ignore them, which works ok
for C since generic is basically C but fails for everything else.

So basically you propose to do optimizations at -O0. I still do not understand
what is the problem with setting no_warning. This is *really*
compiler-generated code.
