Jonathan M Davis:
And in the case of unused variables, it would completely break
Phobos, because so many traits legitimately use unused
variables.
Given how important is to spot unused variables in user code,
then maybe some solution can be invented for library code that
has legitimate uses of unused variables, like creating a built-in
attribute to mark an unused variable that the compiler will not
report as unused. Like @used, a bit like "used" function
attribute of GCC:
used
This attribute, attached to a function, means that code
must be
emitted for the function even if it appears that the
function is
not referenced. This is useful, for example, when the
function
is referenced only in inline assembly.
