The log message should be written in he imperative, and should be a
well-formed sentence, ie beginning with a capital letter and ending with a
period.  So "Add...".  The purpose of doing something should also be more
than clearing a warning.  On the other hand, at the same time, it would be
nice to give credit to the tool that made that warning.
