I think it is a bad idea to put in this warning. There are good and valid
arguments on both sides of this issue. Ada and C++ have both decided (after
a discussion in which the merits of both sides were fully understood) decided
to go one way, Java (which may or may not have been subject to a similar
carefully considered argument, who knows?) decided to go the other way. It
is inappropriate to have a compiler second guess this decision.
