I wonder if we could/should call `byte-compile-warn' instead.

But Yuta, please tell me about your use case.  A lot of other warnings
printed while byte compiling can hint to similarly serious mistakes in
the code.

Would changing the behavior of this particular case really make things
better?  Can't you just have a look at the compiler warnings, which is a
good idea (necessary) anyway?


Thanks,

Michael.
