I was giving a per instance warning, though a bit less specific than your
example (mainly because it was easy, and the first thing I thought of).
Only giving one warning per symbol per file (i.e., no repeat warnings
for symtab_index as above) will complicate things, as it doesn't really
follow the warning infrastructure that's in place (at least, I don't think
it does).

Agreed.
