Would be nice, yes, but also a bit of a minefield: generally extension
modules have to be built with the same options as Python or all hell
can break loose (here I'm thinking particularly of large file
options).

Obviously, this doesn't apply to warning options, but... brr.  There's
also x-platform considerations here.
