Well, we've been tightening the compiler in many places. I consider this
a particularly useless extension -- it's true that it doesn't hurt anyone,
but it adds nothing whatsoever of value to the language. I would be very
much surprised if more than a handful of people have ever used it, and I
can't think of a reason why it would be undue to ask them to fix their
codes.
In the interest of sticking with the language standards and to simplify the
compiler, I vote for removing the extension. Even documenting it seems a
waste of time to me.
