No, no, no, no and no.

You are just breaking my code when you do this. Leave my code 
alone. Leave the libraries I rely upon alone. It's working fine, 
great even.

This is purely destructive. Every time this is done, we lose a 
chunk of the ecosystem.

If it can detect bugs => static analysis. Chip the analyzer with 
the rest of the toolchain and be done with it.
If it allows for more expressiveness on another axis => ship it 
with the language, and increase my powers.
