 The variables in question are already marked hidden, but that message is
 emitted for any variables that are not-visible, ''including'' hidden ones.
 If a variable is hidden, however, the user shouldn't hear about it, so the
 warning should be skipped in this case, too.

 The original bug report deals specifically with procedure names produced
 by `define-foreign-type`, but any fix should apply to all hidden
 variables, I think.
