Good.

It should be easy not to ask for warnings. ;-)

Patch for fixing it welcome, but I wouldn't expect to see it in 5.6.x
before 5.6.2.  I'm enforcing a code-freeze for 5.6.1 in an effort to
get it out as soon as we possibly can, which translates to "critical
bugfixes and documentation patches only".

Thanks.
