Expressions such as f + 4 or f - f don't make any sense to the user,
however. 
== and != are especially bad cases because users who think of 'function' as
a 
function pointer would expect them to exist. I can poison all of the 
operators, but it hardly seems worth it.

Anytime you can make the compiler detect invalid code its worth it. Bugs
found by running a program are hugely more expensive to find and fix than
one's caught by the compiler. (Never seen by users or QA)
