	C seems to manage by finding such problems in either the compile or link
phases. I don't see why there can't be a compile switch for such checking.
Sure, you don't want it on all the time, that defeats dynamic binding. But for
the purposes of a compile pass, I don't see why it can't be done when it's
done all the time in C.
