I assume you are familiar with the workaround for this. 

-- Make a local wrapper for the built-in.
function my_length(object x)
  return length(x)
end function

without warning
-- Make a routine with the same name as the built-in but
-- calls your wrapper.
function length(sequence x)
   return my_length(x)
end function
with warning

-- Testing --
integer r_Length
r_Length = routine_id("length")
? call_func(r_Length, {"A string"})
