So I was telling my colleague that D would warn on self

```
module a;

import std.stdio;

void main() {
    string a;
    a = a;          // Can the compiler warn at this line that 
there is no effect?
    writeln(a);
    return;
}
```

Are people using self assignment of structs as a way of 
force-running the postblit?  Is there a valid use case for that?
