On IRC, @moonheart08 has expressed desire to implement this. I've helped a little bit, can continue mentoring.

@est31 do you know if @moonheart08 is still interested in working on this? If not, I'd love to work on it.

I have heard about them wanting to submit their changes it about a week ago or so. Lets wait one week more.

[wesleywiser]

Ok, sounds good.

I implemented it as compiler plugin a while ago, maybe I could try to see how hard would be to move it in the right place?

FYI, there's a crate that does it as a compiler plugin, in the meantime: compiler_error
(for people like me who come to this issue and need it right now)

The feature here is pretty straightforward, so let's stabilize it!
