I can definitely sympathise with reading the message the other way though. If that's the only output you see, the natural assumption is that the "enabled by default" applies to the thing just before it. Any objections to changing it to "this warning is enabled by default" or "warning enabled by default"? Or is that too verbose? Thanks, Richard
