Peter Alexander:
This is a tricky one. On one hand, it *is* a useful way to
catch errors, but on the other it's a constant source of
irritation when you are tinkering with code during
development/debugging.
I agree. I think a simple way to solve this problem is to put
"unused variables" among the warnings. So when you are tinkering
with code you don't use -wi, if you want.

eles:
However, it is reasonable to include something like strictness
levels as part of the compiler? (think gcc with MISRA-C
integrated).
I think this to implement that there is a lot of work to do.
D tries to improve over C/C++ regarding static code safety, but
there's a good way to go still (recently I have written a small
article on this).
