The warning NativeCall generates when the library version is unspecified needs to be removed, or at the very least a mechanism for silencing it must be provided. [REASONS]: 1) The warnings should point out potential problems in programs, not dictate to the programmer some arbitrary "best practice." A warning generated by Nil eq "foo" is there because comparing a non-value with a string makes no sense and there's likely a problem with the program. Telling a programmer to specify an API version for a library the compiler knows nothing about is overreaching: there's no problem with the program. 2) As far as I can tell, currently it's impossible to specify more than one version; this is likely why there are several Ecosystem modules that chose to emit the warning in any program that uses the modules. If there're objections with regard to removing the warning, I suggest a value of * can be interpreted as to mean "any version" (that is, as if it weren't specified).
