I was originally annoyed by this, but eventually concluded that it's
all part of the automatic background compilation, something we didn't
have before.  I think with time people will get used to it, and the
surprise will go away.  And if someone is really annoyed, they can
always disable automatic background compilation altogether.

I tend to think that turning warnings off is not a good idea, for the
same reasons we don't by default turn off byte-compilation warnings.
But we will cross this bridge when we come to it.
