I would like to have the warning enabled by default so that I'm not the only 
one getting those. OTOH I fully understand that this can be very annoying 
when working on an application and you don't want to look into silencing the 
warnings (or fixing the bugs) in libs or whereever the header comes from.

So what do you think about having a switch to disable the warning - per 
default it would still be enabled? If the warning were disabled by default 
then we could just as well tell everybody to put -Woverloaded-virtual into 
his CXXFLAGS.
