So far I've been using -Wold-style-definition, which I've been using
make these changes. I am planning on just adding that to WARNS=6,
considering that almost all the code at WARNS=6 builds with this flag
enabled now.

I'd rather not add a WARNS=7, because then I'm afraid almost nobody will
know about its existence, causing it to be mostly ignored. In an ideal
world, I think we should get rid of WARNS. We could just enable all -W
flags by default, except -Werror. That way people would be invited to
fix the warnings over time.
