I would say that it would be very difficult to analyze that. Here's an example
of where I get short-circuit warnings that are flooding the output making it hard
to even see the output of my program:

if in_if or re:matches(else_if, line) then
...
elsif in_continue and length(line) > 5 and equal(line[1..5], ...)
...
end if

I guess that's the way I have always programmed.

I wonder, maybe we should add something like:

without xyz_warning

??
