Using
sys.excepthook
to silence the must-use warning has some false negatives: applications may catch the exception and then quit normally, e.g. becaue the error is well known and does not require a traceback to be shown (which would be noisy). The current implementation prints even more noise in that case.In addition to the existing heuristic, silence the warning if nothing has been elaborated, which is almost always a reliable sign. It doesn't work if multiple designs are independently created in the application and some of them are dropped without being used, but this is unavoidable as it is not distinguishable from the mistake this warning is attempting to prevent.
Fixes #848.
