This was discussed earlier; some people argued about warnings and such,
and the OP said this would make warnings stand out _more_, not less.
After some more posts that I don't really remember the discussion died.
the link to the full thread is at [0].

I tried to implement the proposal myself, but modifying the Ruby file
that creates the *.mk files from the *.rmk files proved to be a royal
PITA. I recall I proposed a switch over to a more common tool as Python
and... western-rolling-ball-crossing-the-street. Feel free to try!
