Intentional, but perhaps not completely well-considered. The intent was
to remove conflicts with names Python already uses - having Warning as
the base class of all Python warnings and also as the name of the base
class of all SCons warnings had some potential for confusion when used
unqualified - obviously there's no issue if every single mention of the
internal one is spelled SCons.Warnings.Warning. The same change was
made to EnvironmentError, the internal one is now SConsEnvironmentError.
