… and what? This statement alone is hardly an argument. Both 
those warnings are trivial to fix in an automated fashion; in 
fact, you pointed out the possible rewrites yourself. Fixing the 
warnings and verifying the changes takes way less time than 
tracing down and addressing even a simple application bug, yet 
the language is substantially cleaner as a result. This is 
exactly the sort of changes D needs more of.
