           Summary: Simple flow analysis should eliminate null uses
                    statically
           Product: D

          Hardware: x86
                OS: Mac OS X
            Status: NEW

See the first snippet in

We should do the same amount of flow analysis we do in class constructors
(regarding the call to super()) to emit a compile-time error for using null
references.
