1. Walter hates warnings. He pretty much thinks that everything should either
be an error or not. So, you're generally going to have a hard time getting him
to make anything a warning.

2. Returning a value from a void function is outright incorrect. It's not that
it _might_ be incorrect or that it _might_ cause errors. It is _definitely_
incorrect. I have no idea why gcc wouldn't make that an outright error. It
should be. Then again, C is historically lax about a lot of things that you'd
think that it would consider errors, so that's probably why. Still, I see no
reason to make D match gcc is this regard. D makes the correct choice here.
