It depends how many of these exceptions you have. If there are only a
small handful of exceptions like this, then you can use Pragmas to
selectively disable the warning in those few cases, while still
benefitting from it across the rest of the code.  If there are alot
of such exceptions though, then I agree it is impractical.
