I don't.  There are certain contexts where warnings are generated even 
though the code is fine.  I'm not going to waste time fixing otherwise 
well-written code because someone decided that a warning should be 
generated.

Warnings are just that: warnings -- not errors.  Sure, 99% of the time 
it's better to avoid the warning, but I'm not going to worry too much 
about the other 1%.

Best,
