Warning suppression pragmas

[Эдгар Жаворонков]

Hi Ben!
Thanks for your feedback
I thought a little and fixed some in wiki page

In my opinion SUPPRESS_WARNINGS is not a real long name for pragma, but i
can't come up with whort name that clearly describes purpose of such pragma
=(
Your suggestions are really welcome)
