It's not really a question of "able" to, or not. I'm sure were Walter to
decide to add this feature to D he would also be "able" to.
It also doesn't matter what another language choses to do.
Why you'd want an unused variable to be an error is beyond me - it has
absolutely no effect on the resulting executable, if it did it would be a
bug.
What matters, ultimately, from a user point of view is whether the feature
exists or not. We can solve that by having a 3rd party tool bundled with
the compiler and this would be the best solution for all the reasons
outlined earlier.
