[PATCH] RFC: remove warning "advancing past deep designator"

[PATCH] RFC: remove warning "advancing past deep designator"

[Luc Van Oostenryck]

This warning is issued in code like:
	struct s {
		union {
			int  i;
			long l;
		} u;
		int b;
	};
	static struct s s = {
		.u.i = 1,
		2,
	};
in other words, it is issued when a 'deep' designated initializer
is followed by a non-designated initializer.

I wonder what's really the value of this warning.
Is there really some confusion we would like to avoid?

NB. I'm not sure if this situation is covered by the standard
    (status of 'deep' designated initializers is not very clear).
NB. GCC accept this, without any option to warn about it.
