I haven't tested it but offhand I call it inaccurate :)
I had only cursory look at it but: regexes are way underpowered to do
the task and thus false positives and false negatives are unavoidable.
Just throw in more templates and mixins and it will fail ;)
As i said: it isn't perfect yet. ;) But maybe one of you could help me.
And regex are the only way i know to scan code.
And yes i know, sometimes warnings for unused variables _would_ be
annoying but then we have to discuss if a new compiler switch is useful.
IMO it is, but IMO a shorthand like "?" for not null types is similar
useful.
Adding new language features is at best problematic at this point.
Maybe i expect to much, maybe i should use such programms only by myself.
I see no problem with a special D tool (a-la lint) that will check this
and other possible problems.
