"Avoiding warnings at all costs" sounds a bit strong. When writing a new 
API (library, whatever) it's not alway possible to create warning-less code.
In these cases I tend to inspect the code section thoroughly and add 
such annotations if possible. It gives a warm fuzzy feeling if the 
counter goes down ;-)
And it saves time because 3 months later I don't have to check the same 
code again to see if it's just a warning or maybe a WARNING.
