Sure, the toggle sounds like a nice idea regardless, since IIUC right
now a user has to go through Customize to take warnings off either
warning-suppress-*types.
(Sorry for the idle musing, this is the first time I look at what knobs
warnings.el lets the user tweak.
As things stand, if a user doesn't want to completely ignore a warning,
their only choices seem to be "pop *Warnings*" or "meh, tuck it in
*Warnings* but don't pop; hopefully I'll remember to check that buffer
someday", is that correct?
Might be nice to have further options for "suppression", e.g.…
"don't pop the *Warnings* buffer, but display in echo area", or
"… but add a modeline indicator"
… but that's its own feature request)

(Ah, great, so we're only missing an 'image entry for that one. Just a
trivial matter of choosing what the image should look like then 😁)
Thanks for the answers 🙏
