There, I feel better now. If you want to see the other warnings, set
CONFIG_ENABLE_MUST_CHECK=n.
While Googling around for Hobson's Choice[1], I realized that we are
presented with the utterly apropos Morton's Fork:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morton's_Fork
With CONFIG_ENABLE_MUST_CHECK warning explosion, we must choose between
seeing warnings in our own code, but missing __must_check bugs, and
seeing all the __must_check bugs but obscuring our own day-to-day devel
problems.
In the future, I would hope that it would be reasonable to merge a
feature like this along with the cleanups that avoid a warning explosion.
