Keep in mind that with crypto in the game it just might be useful to have
loop-over-loop - it might be _not_ a no-op (hell, you might have two
layers of encryption - not the smartest thing to do, but if that's what
got dumped on your lap, you deal with what you've got). So such warnings
shouldn't be hard errors.
