We should probably have assertions to check that the
public interface is correct anyway, but it raises the
question about how to run these tests on iOS indeed.

Maybe we can discuss on how to improve the robustness of
submission here instead of transforming warnings into errors.

For instance, buildbots are sometimes able to tell how many
new warnings have been added with a MR before mergin it, it
would help highlight these issues and prevent adding more
warnings unwillingly.
