I think the last few times this was brought up, there was general
agreement that it was a bug. If you search the archives you'll
probably find the details. You'll even find messages from myself in
which I defended the absence of this warning as a means for silencing
the uninitialized warning in situations in which it's too hard to
avoid it otherwise, but I've since agreed it's a bad idea.
