Such people may even start using warnings and some lint tool. And if no lint
tool that currently exists is able to warn about those bugs (and I seriously
doubt this) then it's time to fix/create a C++ lint able to do this too.

On the other hand what you say suggests me that the usage of lint tools isn't
so widespread, so it may be good to add the D compiler/language some of the
basic lint-like functionality I was talking for. I'll keep asking for some of
such features.
