For previous discussion, see
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-09/msg00428.html> et seq.

I thought a more general system of fine-grained warning disabling was
supposed to be imminent (e.g.
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-01/msg01065.html> for a previous proposal
and discussion) - but that seems to have vanished.
