I know I can do this from the ocamlc command line, but I want to suppress the warning only in specific cases and I think I should put a comment on why something is suppressed. From my C background I am used to #pragma warning and find it quite convenient.

I have a case where I might want to extend a record in the future and if I do so the with clause most likely would make sense, so I want to keep the with clause, even though it is superfluous right now.
On the other hand:

it is quite possible that your  with-construct is more harmful than useful:

when extending the record, the compiler will not flag the lines in your code you have
to check.
