Maybe those of you that understand why it is good should explain
clearly to the rest of us why you think it is.  -pedantic doesn't do
what lint does - running in ANSI mode with -Wall is as close an
approximation as you'll find to that, and is in many ways more
thorough.  *All* that -pedantic does is warn you about pedantic
clashes with the ANSI spec that the maintainers of gcc don't think
most people will care about.

Please don't turn this into a flame war - I just asked a simple
question, and if your assertion is correct, you should be able to
demonstrate that it is with a fairly simple, non-flaming answer.
