I would have thought that you would consider this annoyance to be a feature,
drawing attention as it does so well to code that you consider worth warning
about. ;-)

So now, to suppress this one annoyance, you've removed all byte-compiler
warnings for byte-compiling advice. I don't necessarily disagree, but are you
sure that's TRT? Should this perhaps be configurable by users of advice (e.g.
defadvice)? (Dunno.)
