There's an earlier comment in this patch about that, anchored to line 296 of 
common.py. IIUC, a developer: 1) updates their test by adding new RUN lines, 
maybe adding prefixes to existing RUN lines, 2) runs the appropriate 
update_xyz_checks.py. Then, indeed, they could run the test and see FileCheck's 
warnings, but they might be confused. Instead, we can pre-warn. Eventually, we 
could imagine giving a bit more information in the warning as to which RUN line 
that was, for example.

I'll look at adding --allow-unused-prefixes=true awareness shortly.
