Just to be obnoxious, I'll suggest that the simplest way to implement
warnings is "rewindable exceptions", such that if no exception block is
found to handle the warning exception, the code pointer returns to the
byte code immediately following the one that generated the warning (or
to the byte code that generated the warning; not sure which is better).

At least, this is the simplest way to handle it without breaking
existing code, I think.
