Before proposing any new sort of magic identifier for warnings, read the
thread starting at http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/1998-09/msg00353.html (the
patch was objected to, and present in GCC for < 1 day), and the discussion
from June 2000 linked to from the projects list
(http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2000-06/msg00639.html - but until web/3119 is
fixed by restoring the relevant messages from backup, you'll need to find
them in the mbox archives instead) about pragmas for fine-grained warning
control.
