That's indeed what we're aiming for, which is why we provide
`with-suppressed-warnings`.

That's "unrelated": it's an error, not a warning.  In general it
indicates either an error in your code or an error in the way the
compiler is called, or an error in the compiler.  In this case it seems
to be a problem linked to flycheck.  Have you tried `flymake` instead?
Does it suffer from the same problem?
