No, the whole schtick of -w is that it causes warnings to be emitted at all.  It's a quirk 
of the way it was designed that it treats them as errors - by returning a failure status 
code, not by the wording of the compiler output.

But it's clearly a bug that this particular warning message has the label "Error:" instead 
of "Warning:".

Unless it really is meant to be an error, in which case it's a bug that it is emitted only 
if -w is used.

-wi versus -w shouldn't make any difference to the wording of error messages.  Only to the 
status code returned by the compiler if there were any warnings.
