Only on trying to verbalize the new option, that is, the semantics I expected
this warning to have, did I realize that such a warning is unrealistic to
implement.
However, that doesn't change the fact that I find this warning to be misleading
as illustrated by the perceived false negatives in the description of this bug
report at <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_REOPENED "
title="REOPENED --- - Request to remove warning -Wselector due to perceived false negatives apart from false positives"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=16621#c0">http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=16621#c0</a>
Hence, though I don't feel qualified to decide whether this is no longer
relevant, if it is indeed seen as no longer relevant by a qualified person
(such as someone who has made use of this warning in the past), I request this
warning to be removed.
Thank you
