You, or $YOU, could add that as a linter and integrate it into golangci-lint [1]. There are many things in golangci-lint that I abhor and can't even imagine turning on, things that default to false that I can't imagine working without, and some things I think just bizarre... and everyone will have their own distinct list of such things. While one can argue about the virtues of things being in linters versus in the language I do think it's a useful way to resolve these sorts of issues without having to litigate the compiler itself. If I were ever to build my own language it would ship with an equivalent of golangci-lint and its open-source ethos of linting from day one.

In the before times this would be not very helpful but in 2026 this is probably about 30 minutes of your actual time and maybe a couple of hours of AI time. The code isn't too hard to write but there are a number of edge cases to cover, as there always is in this sort of thing.
