> This PR relates to the `-Xlint:none` flag. Currently, it not only disables all lint categories as one would expect, but it also disables all non-mandatory warnings, period. In other words, `-Xlint:none` has `-nowarn` as a hidden side-effect. So for example, trying to do `-Xlint:none,serial` to enable only the `serial` lint category is futile: the category will be enabled but the warnings won't ever appear. This PR removes that hidden side-effect, and also clarifies some of the help output.
