Warning on abandoned statements?

[Peter Scott <Peter@PSDT.com>]

Is it (a) feasible, (b) desirable to issue a warning when a loop control
statement is an argument to a function that therefore will never be called?

E.g.:   print "Found it!", last if /wombat/;

That is perhaps the most plausible example and while the fix is obvious,
it seems deserving of a warning as much as use of a string in void
context, and for more or less the same reason.
