... which does not work at all for the example that has started

typedef struct {

Arithmetics is not an option for existing uses.  , and ?: would be OK, but
they are even worse than return type - at least that got fixed in 8.4.

As for the -Wignored-qualifiers...  Sure, that's included into -Wextra, along
