Same as in the coverity case complaining about this it won't happen here
since we are iterating a known list of items that was collected
beforehand and thus no crashing will happen.
Well, having covery reports a false positive is one thing, being unable
to compile is another one. This is what I was afraid of and expressed it
here:

On the other hand, you use more recent compiler than I do, so you'll hit
these error sooner O:-) IOW, one day we will have to deal with this. Again.
