What other reasonable choice was there in the first place? Isn’t it kind
of self-evident that codepoints that are not part of Unicode do not have
Unicode properties? In short, is the warning here warning the programmer
of something at all unexpected? It seems to me it isn’t, and so it also
seems to me that mentioning in the documentation that this is indeed the
chosen semantics should be perfectly sufficient.

So assuming I haven’t overlooked any facts, I’ll agree that the warning
should go.
