In the D design there are thousands of corner cases that weren't kept into
account during the D design, because of reasons.

Here I am asking for a warning/error, and for a new usage of "new" (or another
semantically equivalent syntax), this is both a breaking change, the
introduction of a warning (and a syntax change): things currently seriously
frowned upon.

Even improvements that lot of people seem to like, like the removal of implicit
concatenation of adjacent string literals, or a dangerous and bad corner case:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/2887  were refused with
insufficient reasons), so are such wars still worth fighting for?
