I have a vague recollection that we tried to warn for that and ended up
nixing the warning due to vast swarms of false alarms (or because you
couldn't write correct 2.x code without triggering it).

I'd be happy for someone to prove my recollection wrong though (i.e. by
writing a patch that implements such warnings).

Cheers,
Nick.
