You should ask the CCL folks what is their policy. I think they agree
that it's a bug that forward-referenced type specifiers should cause a
warning, and it's possible that there's a bug in the implementation,
but it is also possible that there will be a warning if a type remains
undefined by the end of the compilation unit. Please talk to them
(maybe on irc.freenode.net #ccl) and tell us what the status is.
