Another option is to write such a warning during init() or some other
format specific function.
Then, you'd have a full line of text, which is harder not to recognize.
(Added bonus: If we do the same for formats which were part of jumbo-7,
relbench would still be able to compare those formats without the need
to use benchmark-unify.
