When you specify what you mean by "not checked by the compiler", then we'll
talk. :-)  Until you do, it is trivial to poke holes in it.  For instance:

if (0)
{
  Fire Fire Fire! (note: this line is NOT a C++ comment)
  if (ShouldTheIf0OnlyGoToTheFirstEndBraceItFinds())
  {
  }
  LaunchTheMissiles();
  if (0) {
}

Did you really mean to launch the missiles?
