geom_histogram() throwing warning with use of 'weight' aesthetic

[kaybenleroll]

ggplot2 version: 2.2.1

While it appears to be creating the correct plot, using the weight aesthetic with geom_histogram() causes the throwing of a warning message

Warning: Ignoring unknown aesthetics: weight

A reproducible example can be found from using the midwest data in the ggplot2 (2e) book:

ggplot(midwest, aes(percbelowpoverty)) +
    geom_histogram(aes(weight = poptotal), binwidth = 1) +
    ylab("Population (1000s)")

I can't reproduce this unfortunately. Could you please use the reprex package to create your reproducible example and include a call to sessionInfo()? That will help me diagnose the problem.
