I agree with this. I have kind of wondered why @warn_unused_result isn’t actually the default, as I forget to add it nine times out of ten, when in reality almost all of my methods that return something should have it. Is there an existing discussion for switching the behaviour?

But yeah, I think warning of unused comparison results should solve this issue well enough, just like misusing a function/method call.
