I'd say warning as default.

Did anybody bring up the idea of compiler option profiles?  There could be a
default profile that has regular settings (I'd say the current defaults). 
Then there could be a performance profile which issues warnings for all
unnecessary code that isn't or can't be optimized away.  Then there could be a
be-sure profile that makes everything an error etc.
