i'd say "codify, and add warning".
I'd vote for the ketmar solution if workable.
Another argument for this is that C code that has already been
converted to D, and is currently silently broken, would benefit
from a new warning as a way of gathering attention. However
matching C promotion might make this code work too but silently.
