Follow-up Comment #10:

I didn't see the caching (but it is very well possible that I just didn't
understand it).
AFAICS, `load_path::update` effectively purges the load path and re-builds it
from scratch. So IIUC, atm there is no way of detecting whether a particular
function is new on the load path or whether it was already shadowing before.
I don't know how the repeated shadowing warnings can be avoided.
There is probably a better way of doing this. But that is probably outside the
scope of this report.

I tried some primitive changes to add the function name including the
namespace to the map in load-path.cc. That helped to suppress the warning. But
also made every function in a +namespace completely unusable.

Since jwe is already planning on overhauling this part of the code, I'll leave
this to him.
