I like the error DMD (-w) gives in this situation a lot. It has saved
me precious minutes of debugging on more than one occasion. :)

And I never liked ‘warning:’s anyway. If something is dangerous enough
to warrant a warning, the compiler may just as well enforce it in the
language and be done with it.
