It might be worthwhile flagging as errors constructs which cause
frequent confusion. For example, I have been programming in C
and C like languages for over 25 years. I still occasionally
shoot myself in the foot combining bitwise logical operations
and equality tests. If the language forced me to put int
parenthesis, I would have been caught at compile time. While I
try to put them in as a mater of good programming style,
sometimes I forget.
However, there are probably legacy issues.
