Subject: [PATCH] Add missing entries to perldiag; GH #18276
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The ticket mentions yet another message, not addressed in this
commit, "Insecure private-use override".  That message is part of a
hook for a so-far unimplemented module, so it actually doesn't ever get
raised.

Committer: One correction per Grinnz comment in
https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/18491
