That's what comes of -wi being tacked on later, I suppose. Clearly that needs 
to be fixed. If it were any other compiler -wi would be the default behavior, 
but Walter wrote it, so Nick had to beg until Walter suprisingly relented and 
added -wi. Personally, I just always compile with -w and that -w was the 
default, but whatever. The documentation needs to be fixed in either case.
