I find the warnings useful. But I have to agree about the short circuit
warning.. I don't think I have ever written code where I didn't
intentionally  make the shortcircuit.
The only problem I frequently encounter in that department is using 'or'
instead of 'and' or vice versa.
And I quite often use the short circuit when I need to execute a command
only on success of another (especially in exotica), so that warning does get
particularly annoying.
Also, I think it's the only warning message that will remain in your
program, even if it executes succesfully.

PS. Rob, will 2.3 support relative paths for include staements?
IE.
---file_a.ex
 include libs/lib_a.e

--lib_a.e
include ../lib_main.e

There was something else I was thinking of on this subject, but it escapes
me. It was discussed before. :P
Maybe it'll come to me, or maybe someone else remembers.
