I don't really know ruby, but if it's anything like perl (I have a perl background) then warnings are very useful. It's accepted PBP [1] to run all code with warnings enabled and to write your code so that it doesn't generate warnings. Perhaps ruby is different? If it is, then I'm not qualified to speak about this. If not, I agree with Luke. R.
