That's true. And warnings are... well, warnings, i.e. a sign of something that
might be wrong somewhere. So wouldn't it be better to just "cure" those warnings,
to avoid any possible issue sign-related?

Yes, it's cumbersome, time-eating, not-fun-at-all... but "in fine" the code
usually ends better. That's what I saw at least (on large projects).
