Do you have an example?

There are lots and lots of ways in which you can do things that
don't really make sense, including things that don't make sense
with vanilla LilyPond but start to make sense if you put some Scheme
code to support them, so such a warning is not feasible in general,
although it can be possible in some specific instances.
