I don't know what the ISO C++ standard has to say on this subject and if a
diagnostic is needed, I'll have to leave that to Martin. But IMO these aren't
inappropriate, because they point out possibly unwanted behaviour (Martin?).

I'd agree with you though that there should be a switch to inhibit the
warning (that is, if a diagnostic isn't required).
