Please consider implementing a way to be able to conditionally re-enable
locally these warnings so that we can try to hunt down and fix those,
otherwise we might end up hitting these once we revert the silencing,
for example for code paths that are not commonly exercised.

I've mentioned this on the upstream bug report, but it would be nicer
if you could coordinate a way upstream might be happy with, say using
a specific environment variable or similar.

Thanks,
