FWIIW, since the discussion cited above I have been keeping an eye on
-Wcomma, mostly wrt to patches for Networking code.

My subjective feelings on this are:

* Few new instances seem to be added
* There are some, though I wouldn't say a lot, of existing
  instances in files that are that is being updated.
* I don't recall any of the instances, new or old, being bugs.
  Though perhaps a very small number were.

So while I'm all for more checks.
And I'm all for only using the comma where it is necessary
(I suspect that often it is a typo).
I do not get the feeling that we are sitting on a trove of nasty bugs.
