Actually, that's what the *formal* distinction between style-warning
and other kinds of warnings is all about.  To quote the standard once
again:

  ‘In general, the question of whether code is faulty or substandard
is a subjective decision to be made by the facility processing that
code. The intent is that whenever such a facility wishes to complain
about code on such subjective grounds, it should use this condition
type so that any clients who wish to redirect or muffle superfluous
warnings can do so without risking that they will be redirecting or
muffling other, more serious warnings.’

This is probably out of scope of this mailing list, though.
