How so? Once Zack fixes things so that there are no warnings about
trigraphs in comments, then the only way you'll see a warning is if
you have a trigraph in the actual source code, and this trigraph changes
the meaning of the program. Not alerting the user to such a condition
when the user has said "-Wall" would be wrong. It is not a low-priority
warning at all. And the warning you are currently seeing for the
trigraph in the comment will disappear.
