Hi Ralf,

According to Ralf Wildenhues on 9/25/2006 11:00 PM:

Indeed - I was just throwing the idea out for comment, and had not tested
it yet (or I probably would have noticed my backwards logic).

It looks right to me - all it does is add a warning if the first argument
is literal but does not contain _cv_; otherwise it does not change
behavior.  I say go for the patch, as you have it written; and after we
figure out a test case to add to make sure we are triggering the warning
as expected.
