It's been discussed many, many times. The behavior is not going 
to change - there won't even be a compiler warning. (You'll have 
to check with the leadership for their reasons.)

I think something like this, which is such an obviously bad 
design and hits so many new users, should be discussed in the 
learn forum so new users are aware of what's going on.
