new VCL syntax warnings - maybe make optional?

It looks like Fastly is now doing more syntax checking of VCL and emitting more warnings?  This is very cool, but could it maybe be an option, or collapsible?  We have a very large and complex VCL setup, and it results in pages and pages of warning messages at the top when we're editing the configuration.  I'm not saying that we shouldn't fix those, but they make it kind of a pain to work with the UI while we're trying to clean it up.

    Hi there, I added these new warnings. I think you're right, it's an awful lot of output! Thank you for mentioning it.

    We've turned them down a notch - you should only see newly-introduced warnings about regexps matching hostnames and paths, now. And we've added scrolling to the UI element where they're displayed, so they don't push everything else off the screen. I hope that improves things a bit.

    Thank you, Katherine!  That's some fast turnaround!  The new scrolling layout is definitely better.
