I have noticed the compiler in v17 is significantly better at flagging little errors like that. And a lot of others. There were some wonky things in a database I converted which is in active use, compiled, all vars typed. I thought v17 must have corrupted the code somehow because I just didn't think the things I saw could have been there before. But it turned out it had been there for several years - I found it in exported method files going back several years in some cases.
Not really a bad thing. Surprising sometimes.
