The -w is just simply the "treat warnings as errors" switch (and of
course it also implies "enable warnings").

Most compilers have an "enable warnings" switch and a "treat warnings
as errors" switch. DMD is the same, it just treats "as errors" as the
default instead of "as warnings" as the default.

That is perhaps a little backwards, but it's partly because DMD didn't
used to even *have* the "-wi" switch and the ability to treat warnings
*not* as errors. Then we talked^H^H^H^H^H^Hharrassed Walter into adding
-wi, and being such a good sport he obliged :)
