If so, "that should always be a compile error. Period.” is IMO a poor way to express that idea.
On top of that, the C compilers I know more or less have that, as they give warnings for basically cases where Java (with its stricter rules) would refuse to compile equivalent code, and have a flag that turns warnings into errors.
