Geez, in the past that has always been one of the shakiest aspects of
warnings.  I remember the good ol' days of -values spewing warnings.  Now
you have v-thingies generating the same warnings.  Usually, when I
see this warning, it's bogus, and in the next version of Perl, the
bogus warning is gone.
