Individual warnings can be incorrect (if so, they are bugs)
but the warning concept is good.

In the future compilers will be able to refactor and polish
code to the degree it won't be possible to determine who wrote
it, a seasoned pro, or a guy they just found on the street,
who seems to have an unusual talent: what is really simple, he
seems to understand almost instantly...
