Thank you for the 'fast track' explanation from your trained 
eyes  ;)  It permitted me to 'see' into the (what I take to be 
a) warning more easily;  I read a bit more at
 	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B_classes
and think I see how this divergence crept in our code as it 
has been re-worked over time

Commits into this part of the code are not wholly mine, and 
we'll discuss approaches at the next code review, I am sure -- 
I take the matter to be 'lint' and pedantic (in the good 
sense) review of a artifact of how the code evolved being 
surfaced by 'clang' so that we might address it uniformly

Thank you, again
