We very often see new warnings turn up real bugs in real code.  (Recent
examples of note: length(@arr), return $x or die;)  Making "use warnings"
default to something that won't get these will be doing a disservice to the
common case.

On the other hand, making it possible to request a specific version's warnings
seems useful.
