It's OK to put this stuff in a place that we ordinarily don't have to look at, but it's not OK to add needless complexity to code that people need to read to understand what the code is doing.

It ought to be easy to disable the warnings entirely, for the entire build, and that is better than to waste peoples' time inserting these calls and then later having to read them. If it's easy to do disable warnings on a per-module basis then I guess that's OK too. But it's not OK to clutter the actual code. We don't have enough resources to waste them on pacifying compilers that cry wolf so often.
