I meant the first.  I mean, I'm not opposed to it or anything, but my
opinion is that aiming for a warning-free test suite would be to put
an undue burden on the test writers for little gain.  (When we're used
to having a warning-free build, then any warning sticks out like a sore
thumb and is generally fixed pretty quickly...)
