I think a warning is very appropriate.

However, occasionally a constructor might be non-copying on purpose, so we'll need a way to disable the warning. A few possibilities:

* Use .self on the value
* Parenthesize the value
* Parenthesize the variable

I don't favor using compiler magic. Too spooky.

Yeah, that's a pretty easy mistake to make.

Yes. Swift usually tries to help you avoid mistakes.

N/A.

Quick reading.
