And come to think of it, cases like this are exactly why some people
decide to crash the system on warnings. It's things that the developers
thought were impossible, but should be double-checked. If we stop
putting warnings on such places, then the decision to crash on warnings
becomes entirely meaningless. So seems to me that just lashing out
against warnings all the time is actually detrimental to the intent of
such configurations?
