--- Comment #1 from greenify <greeenify at gmail.com> ---
Great idea. This is one of the areas where D is definitely behind other
languages.
IIRC Walter believes that the compiler isn't a linter, so if I am not mistaken
only warnings with minimal or zero overhead will be merged. Ideally Dscanner
(https://github.com/dlang-community/D-Scanner) should be able to yield such
warnings, but with it's current status as (a pure parser without any semantical
analysis) many of your warnings will be hard to achieve. Hence, I guess the
least controversial option is to introduce these warnings step by step with a
new opt-in flag in the D fronted.
