  I still believe that the warning would be useful.  Imagine the
  following statement:

	>>> t =3D h5f.createEArray('/measurements', '1st', ...)

  That does'nt need setattr() voodoo and still creates a non-pythonic
  id.  Other strange characters may also slip in (i.e. dots in file
  names when using FileNode), so issuing a warning is justified.  And
  remember that using it gives us for free the possibility of turning it
  into an exception (or completely off), if the user wishes so.
