May I remind you of Henry Spencer's #1 Commandment?

1.  Thou shalt run lint frequently and study its pronouncements with
    care, for verily its perception and judgement oft exceed thine.

In the annotation is:

    ``Study'' doth not mean mindless zeal to eradicate every byte of lint
    output-if for no other reason, because thou just canst not shut it up
    about some things-but that thou should know the cause of its
    unhappiness ando understand what worrisome sign it tries to speak of.
