No comment this time round, either.

Sometimes I am inclined to just commit and be done.  After all, this
would just omit a warning in working cases, and would fix the totally
broken warning message when breves and longas get into play.  Of course,
this latter part would require translations of the fixed message to be
placed in the message catalogs.
