To me the picture looks as if the warnings should only be printed on request by a developer (not per default) and that new parser markers are the only way to get everyone satisfied.
The same is true for any other warning. The problem with not printing warnings by default is that it removes much of the application for the warning: To forcefully indicate that something will change.
But note that these long/int warnings are especially obnoxious: as they are given by the parser you cannot turn them off with a filterwarning in the module itself, you have to go out and find each and every module importing them. -- - Jack Jansen <Jack.Jansen@oratrix.com> http://www.cwi.nl/~jack - - If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution -- Emma Goldman -
