Since warnings are intended to mean "This could be a problem, but might not
be, be warned", there should be a case-by-case way of answering it and saying
"I know this isn't a problem". I think a pragma for disabling a particular
warning at certain code location would be a good addition to our current
disabling mechanisms?
