Dear R users, I have a long function that among other things uses the "survest" function from the Design package. This function generates the warning: In survest.cph (...) S.E. and confidence intervals are approximate except at predictor means. Use cph(...,x=T,y=T) (and don't use linear.predictors=) for better estimates. I would like to turn this specific warning off, as it makes it difficult to detect other (potentially more crucial) warnings generated by other parts of my code. Is there a way to do this?

Note that this removes __all__ warnings, if you only want to remove
specific warnings, you can adapt suppressWarnings like this:
> h <- function(w) if( any(grepl("ouch", w)))
invokeRestart("muffleWarning")
> withCallingHandlers( warning("ouch"), warning = h )
> withCallingHandlers( warning("something else"), warning = h )
Warning message:
In withCallingHandlers(warning("something else"), warning = h) :
something else
Maybe it would make sense to extend suppressWarnings in this direction
