With the codebase firmly C99 compatible and most compilers supporting newer versions by default, it could help bring visibility to problems. Reverse the DEVOPTS=pedantic flag to provide a fallback for people stuck with gcc < 5 or some other compiler that either doesn't support this flag or has issues with it, and while at it also enable -Wpedantic which used to be controversial[1] when Apple compilers and clang had widely divergent version numbers. Ideally any compiler found to have issues with these flags will be added to an exception, and indeed, one was added to safely process windows headers that would use non standard print identifiers, but it is expected that more will be needed, so it could be considered a weather balloon.
