I've seen (and done it) myself in other code - for example trying to shutdown integer-conversion code early on, I would (rather prematurely) decide what the type would be, and later not having the warning (as guiding light) I have to rediscover what I did and fix it back. Hit me couple of time when converting 32-bit -> 64-bit c/c++ code, while trying to shutdown the warnings (part of the project requirments).
