    val parse_options : bool -> string -> alert option

    val parse_alert_option : string -> unit

Disable/enable alerts based on the parameter to the -alert command-line option. Raises `Arg.Bad` if the string is not a valid specification.

    val without_warnings : (unit -> 'a) -> 'a

Run the thunk with all warnings and alerts disabled.

    val is_active : t -> bool

    val is_error : t -> bool

    val defaults_w : string

    val defaults_warn_error : string

    val report : t -> [ `Active of reporting_information | `Inactive ]

    val report_alert : alert -> [ `Active of reporting_information | `Inactive ]

    exception Errors

    val check_fatal : unit -> unit

    val reset_fatal : unit -> unit

    val help_warnings : unit -> unit

    type state

    val backup : unit -> state

    val restore : state -> unit

    val with_state : state -> (unit -> 'a) -> 'a

    val mk_lazy : (unit -> 'a) -> 'a Lazy.t

Like `Lazy.of_fun`, but the function is applied with the warning/alert settings at the time `mk_lazy` is called.
