Will it ever? Maybe print a warning?

pyrcc -h says the -name flag creates an external initialization function
with name.
My interpretation of that flag was that it could change the name of the
qInitResources and qCleanupSources functions (and not automatically call
them).

That would completely solve my initial problem.
Right now I am importing the resources module but not using any function.
Linters are complaining that I am not using that module.
