Well there is a big difference too. Warnings Off is used to avoid the warnings on unreferenced entity. But if later you start using it the compiler will remain silent. Unreferenced said that the entity is unreferenced and if you start using it you'll get a warnings. This will oblige you to revisit the code and eventually remove the pragma.
