With the recent fix for this situation in class members (#<!-- -->93873) (for
which the fixed code is invalid prior to this patch - making migrating
code difficult as it must be in lock-step with the compiler migration,
if building with -Werror) it'd be really useful to be able to disable
this warning during the compiler migration/decouple the compiler
migration from the source fixes.

In theory this approach will regress the codebase to the previous
non-member cases of this issue that were already being held back by the
warning (as opposed to if we carved out the new cases into a separate
warning from the existing cases) but I think this'll be so rare and the
cleanup so simple, that the extra regressions of disabling the warning
broadly won't be too much of a problem. (but if folks disagree, I'm open
to making the warning more fine-grained)
