C++ compilers had warnings about infinite recursion for years now (since at least 2015 for clang)

I sympathise with the instinct to write this in your compiler flags, but alas thanks to Hyrum's law this makes the future worse and so today people ask that you -Wextra and no doubt I'll eventually read of how C is fine so long as you -Wall -Wextra -Wevenmore -Wyetmore -Wandthese
