Similar to what I do in `track-changes.el` when we detect a missing
call to `after/before-change-functions`?  I like that.
If the warning is too annoying, we could do like I did there, i.e. only
emit the warning when running in a non-release Emacs (i.e. when
`emacs-version` has 2 dots), and offer a variable to control whether to
emit the warning or not.
