Although annoying, these warnings won't actually cause any problems. The best bet to remove the warnings is to file an issue with NumericExtensions.jl, preferably (but not necessarily) with a pull request fixing the issue (these functions didn't exist in v0.2).
Note that v0.3-rc1 has one similar warning: julia> using NumericExtensions Warning: could not import Base.add! into NumericExtensions which was caused by the removal of add! from Base, which was previously deprecated.
