Currently the uninitialized variable warning points at the declaration of
the variable. I don't think that a separate warning for self-assignment
is needed if it is just flagged as "may be used unitialized".
I am curious, though. Can anyone point to existing free software that
is using this, um, feature to supress warnings?
