To repeat what I said before we don't actively stop this, it's just not
something that seems particularly tasteful and the warning does find
actual errors.  I definitely don't think it's a good idea to extend the
API for this.

One of the goals with the distinct struct regulator is to make sure that
we track all the user's activity together - if we mix multiple users in
there it becomes harder to tell if something is going wrong.
