Currently, a warning is always issued whenever a type parameter hides another
type.  In some cases, however, the type that is being hidden is inaccessible. 
For instance, a static inner class has no access to the type parameters of the
enclosing class.

class C<X> {
  static class SubC<X> extends C<X> { // warning
     ...
  }
}

It would be nice if no warnings were issued in those cases of if there was an
option to turn those warnings off without affecting all hidden-by-type-variable
warnings.
