Yeah, I know. Currently there is no actual way to distinguish between a
shell type created explicitly and one created inplicitly. As long as we
support the old way there's not a lot we can do about that.
My only thought was that the message could be supressed if the shell
type was created in the same transaction as you are currently running.
In that case wrapping everything in a BEGIN/END would supress all the
messages. I don't know whether this kind of behaviour is desirable
though or if it is even feasable.
Have a nice day,
