"""
As of now, warnings.py provides only re.I flag to re.compile on
warnings.py:160.  Recent python-numpy issues way too many warnings, I
was trying to filter them out using warnings.filterwarnings, but was
unable to filter out multiline warning (numpy.histogram).  Adding
re.DOTALL to re.I should help to resolve the problem and allow users to
match also multiline warning messages.
