I had not, but I enabled it + -Werror and just worked through all the
issues, force-pushing a new version.  There were some real invalid uses
in addition to things I had simply missed.

The python wrappers, in particular, casted strings to char* all over
the place.  I made that into a separate patch.

Other ideas / feedback?  Can I make another appeal for help with
Tcl/Java? :)
