I speculate that this is attempting to avoid warning in cases like this:
foo() {}
... Where the function defaults to returning int, though the programmer
may never use the return value. I think that it's reasonable to avoid
warning on that function, but it is still important to warn on the
slightly different:
int foo() {}
