Not without a way to turn off the warning, as in "Yeah, I know my code's
older than some new fangled standard, but I ain't fixing it all right now
and I don't want the system whining at clients running existing releases of
my software; if I expected a leading + in file names in my scripts I've
already protected against it, thank you!".

		Cheers,
