Confusingly, neither of these: default, once, module, and always are all
different settings.

once: once per process (regardless of location)
module: once per module (regardless of line)
default: once per location (line+module combination)
always: every time

Still, even with once-per-location behaviour, the warning overhead should
be minimal.

Cheers,
Nick.
