In general, it is not possible to say that a program is valid or not while
compiling it. (It might be possible in this case, nonetheless, I haven't looked
at the details)
This case in particular seems too noisy (and the warning message itself does
not help to figure out what is wrong).
Perhaps we should not enabled by default this one in particular
