I like that idea!  It would be interesting to see how many messages would 
appear on the list if that change was made without mentioning it in the next 
version that's released :-).

I'm going to go and replace my ruby executable with a script that calls the 
original with "-w", to see whether I start picking up problems in code I've 
already written !!
