It was added in e04d9ff by @aostr, and its only purpose is to remove the "w" in reportopts.

In #1668 (comment) it is mentioned that this was discussed with @hpk42.

The main intention here appears to be to enable them by default.

I suggest adding support for -w in reportchars instead.

This would also allow for something like a-s to have everything, without "skipped" easily.

(came here because I want to add A also to also include pP passed ones)
