Just for the record, our IDE team just informed me that they were
relying on this warning to notice when a language switch took place.
I'm not arguing that we should change it back, particularly in the
CLI.  I'm pushing internally for GPS (our IDE) to switch to GDB/MI;
perhaps there might be something to do, there?

Just thinking aloud...
