There seems to be interest in having warnings for valid input that may
be accidental. The GNU compiler, for example, has a truck load of switches
for enabling categories of warnings. I might do something of that sort.

Verilog compilers have an advantage over C compilers in that they can
inspect the entire design and do some checks that a C compiler just can't
do.

I'm open to suggestions as to what would constitute reasonable warnings.
