I think warning the user is the best thing we can offer;
making it an error would break extensions - users can
disable the warning if they want to. Hopefully, they will
report the problem to the extension author, and hopefully,
the extension author tests his code with the new Python
release, to notice the problem before his users do.

Instances are exempted from the warnings because they
already use the "target result set": -1,0,1 for regular
outcome; -2 for exceptions. The original rationale for this
tightening of the result set is to let -2 indicate
exceptions in future Python releases. Perhaps it should also
check that, if an exception occured, that the result value
is -2.
