Every release "accept-invalid" bugs are fixed and incorrect user code that used
to work become uncompileable (showing user his mistakes and making user happy
:) ).

If in this particular case invalid compilation actions are too common to be
broken immediately:
1. Links to user complains are needed to proof its huge count.
2. We have to find and resolve our mistake (e.g. lack of docs) that causes D
user to do such errors in building process.

Also IMHO points 2, 3, and 4 from the description are obviously user build
process bugs that have to be pointed out by a tool-chain like it do now to
prevent the worst case of buildable but incorrectly working application.
