Yeah, I can see arguments either way, though if it continues to work this way,
this should be documented.
[comment #4 comment #4:]
> errors and warnings are simply different things the program can yell about.
I do wonder whether this particular problem really rises to the level of
"error": it's nonfatal and about as severe as some other things deemed
warnings. For the very particular use case mentioned in comment #1, it would
be nice to be able to turn that message off with an appropriate .warn request,
and then turn it back on again after the attempt to set .g; there appears to
be no equivalent in-document mechanism for emulating -E.
But overall I'd say this is working as designed, so probably this report
should be closed.
