Good point. Also, the sort of case where you're likely to be automatically generating these negative values is also the sort of case where you have various nice programmatic interfaces, many of which store up all the warnings. The warnings then have to be freed explicitly, which of course means that by adding a warning, clients would suddenly start to chew through piles of memory.
