Paraphrasing: `Warning: <Certain undesirable behavior> will be an error in Swift <Version + 1>.` I’m not sure if it’s an huge improvement, but it’s easy to block all forward warnings with `-Werror` to clean up right away.

both c++ and Rust emit these kind of warnings to deprecate previously allowed constructs that are deemed undesirable, but I don’t follow how it relates to this particular topic
