Hmm, really? We could just remove it for 16; people will still be able
to use the warnings mode in 15 for several years, so if they want to
upgrade to 16+ they will have plenty of time to update their apps.
If we decide to keep it, then ISTM we should find a way to make this tab
completion thingy work silently. But I'd rather we didn't spend any
time on it.
