I have seen tens of times that this doesn't happen, in D.learn,
in #D on IRC and with friends, students, etc. Silent compilers
that keep the muzzle shut on default are not good enough. John
Colvin's answer is not so unusual.

No Just Colvin's. I usually try to compile with warnings, but
forget half of the time, because it is "yet another opt-in
parameter". I *really* wish warnings were the default: D is "safe
by default, dangerous explicitly": warnings (as errors) should
also be the default.
