reST parser warns twice if the underline for second heading is short.
I think it is a bit verbose.

Input:
~~~
$ cat helper.rst
Issue #5214
===========

django_assert_num_queries
========
~~~
Output (warnings):
~~~
$ rst2html.py helpers.rst > /dev/null
helpers.rst:5: (WARNING/2) Title underline too short.

django_assert_num_queries
========
helpers.rst:5: (WARNING/2) Title underline too short.

django_assert_num_queries
========
~~~

It seems the parser does not warn if the short underline appears at first.

Note: originately this was reported to sphinx:  https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/5214
