Yes.

Thanks; unfortunately, autoscan doesn't yet have logic to implement
alternatives or suppressions in a general way.  There are several other
items that would be nice to improve in this tool, that we've never
gotten to.  I'm not saying you should do anything here, just that the
more reusable solution you can find, the better.  ;-)
