[docutils:feature-requests] #98 Warn on title underline too long

- **status**: pending --> closed-wont-fix
- **Comment**:

Warnings are created for issues where there is invalid rST or ambiguity about the author's intention. A too short title underline is invalid.
A "too long" title underline is valid rST syntax and the probability that the author intended it to be something other than a title underline is too low to merit a warning.

**[feature-requests:#98] Warn on title underline too long**

If title underlines are too short, docutils creates a warning:

docutils/parsers/rst/states.py:2750:
        msg = self.reporter.warning('Title underline too short.', 

Many documentation projects want the underline to match the title. It would be great if we could have a warning for titles that are too long too.  Maybe some switch would be needed to disable the warning.
