If drawing the line at __main__ is a problem, is it possible to enable
warnings for "everything that came from the first entry in sys.path"?
Or, if it helps, disable warnings for a specific set of paths? That
way, you could factor out code into a local module (imported from the
main module's directory) and still have warnings, but not have them
for the stuff that you consider to be library modules.
