I disagree with your concept here.  Warning positions are not accurate
or inaccurate (they cannot be +- 2%, for example), they are either
correct or they are wrong.  A lot of effort was put into making them
correct, although it is clear from this bug that that project is as yet
incomplete.

Please don't revert that commit from 2023-02-17.  I will look into this
and try to fix the bug properly.
