I'd like to avoid splitting common -W options between default and W=2 just based on the compiler. Getting -Wimplicit-fallthrough enabled found plenty of bugs, so making sure it works correctly for both compilers feels justified to me.

GCC's silence for the case of "fall through to a break" doesn't really seem justified. -- Kees Cook
