Which is exactly why you can't put this stuff into compiler - 
providing comparable amount of cofigurability as expected from 
dedicated lint tool will considerably complicate it. And sticking 
no non-configurable defaults is akin to -Werror in C: either you 
enable it and pollute your code with hacks to prevent triggerring 
of warnings in rare legit cases or just ignore for most time.
