Yes, as long it's the _compiler_ that's doing the effort. You shouldn't need to annotate the source just to make the compiler shut up. Once the compiler starts issuing enough false positives, it's time to turn off that warning completely. Therefore, the only sane strategy for a warning is to aim for zero false positives.
