Ah, you see that's where I would say "no new warnings" and get the
submitter to fix them ;) And were I the submitter, I'd want to resolve
the warnings rather than run into issues down the road when things get
"fixed"/documented. But I guess that's why I have the schmucks task of
reviewing bindings innit..

Well, it is your platform and if you're confident that these nodes are
correct despite the warnings, who am I to stop you!
