Without reading your patch, I've been wondering how common it's now
going to be for users to accidentally use flip-flop since now the
difference between ... and ... is whether the syntax's context is
expression or binary operator. If we ever thought that people might
not be using the ... flip-flop we might consider making some kind of
warning for this. Or maybe this is a policy thing and maybe we'd want
to enable users to enable this or maybe just provision for
plug-in-able warnings.

Right now, the _ck phase of warning generation isn't pluggable, right?
It plausibly could be.
