I'm still not clear on what the problem is with a function that prints code to 
be copy pasted. It should probably output to stderr rather than stdout, and 
maybe that can be configurable, but I don't think that's what your problem is.

I think that even if you've filtered warnings before, it's hard to remember how 
and looking it up is still reasonably difficult and tedious. Solving this 
problem by improving documentation is a delicate art that's difficult to 
measure and easy to get wrong, and it can only improve the situation somewhat. 
I'm not against it, but someone has to volunteer to do it, and I'm expecting 
it's just not going to happen.

On the other hand, the goal of this proposal is that once you've looked up the 
function once, you have a decent chance of remembering it without looking it up 
again. It could also be a primary target to attract user attention while 
browsing through documentation, making the lookup process easier.

Yes, that was the stackoverflow question I was referring to, and I think that 
comment is too far down to be sufficiently noticeable. You can see from the 
comment upvotes that most people are very happy to filter an entire category 
and leave it at that.

> While I agree in general

I think I'm missing something because in the rest of the paragraph it just 
sounds like you continue to agree with me in the specifics as well.
