well, at the very least id like to see a (optional) warning/error for 
uninitialized pointers. This way I can be certain there are absolutely 
zero null pointers unless the null keyword itself is used. A quick search 
for 'null' would be guaranteed to show all possibly null variables. I 
know I'm not the first to wish for such. (Does a warning exist yet that I 
don't know about?)
