No, I didn't, but I'm not looking to do that. I'm curious what the gunk is,
without having to remember to look at every message. This way, the new gunk
announces itself to me, without me having to go look for it.

I think that this has some parallel to testing, but I'm not sure what.
I guess it's like testing that no warnings are issued by code, rather than
testing that a particular warning (that signals known trouble) is not issued.
