      Building workgen's Python bindings produces SWIG Warning 321 for WT_CURSOR::next (wiredtiger.h) and help() methods on several workgen classes (workgen.h), because both names shadow Python built-ins. The build still succeeds, but the warnings are noisy and should be silenced with SWIG %rename directives in bench/workgen/workgen.i rather than renaming the underlying C/C++ API.
