The problem is that I am interested in all the warnings but after they have been reported using the 'warnings()' command I am no longer interested in those warnings but similar warnings (of the same type) may occur with subsequent invocations and I am interested in these "new" warnings not the ones that have been reported already. If 'warnings()' cleared out the warnings then it would be ideal for me.
