@c13g2000cwb.googlegroups.com:

The controller is often not aware if one is flying in IMC or VMC. What
is one to do on a approach when you have stepped down into VMC
conditions and the controller yells out an altitude and terrain alert?

Well, one obvious solution is to say "Cancel IFR". That removes all
restrictions. If you have the airport in sight 1700' above the airport,
and at an intermediate fix, the weather is VMC, and you don't have to
stay IFR.
