    These `obsolete' warnings are a general problem: we have no way to say
    "yes, I know this variable is obsolete, but this is the implementation
    rather than a use of the feature".  The closest we have is
    with-no-warnings, which is a rather blunt tool.

It is not blunt if you use it around a small piece of code
with a comment to explain why.
