Which is exactly why you can't put this stuff into compiler - providing comparable amount of cofigurability as expected from dedicated lint tool will considerably complicate it. And sticking no non-configurable defaults is akin to -Werror in C: either you enable it and pollute your code with hacks to prevent triggerring of warnings in rare legit cases or just ignore for most time.
