Warn when Any or AnyVal is inferred.
For the very small price of annotating types as Any/AnyVal in those cases where we wish to use them, we can obtain useful warnings. I made trunk clean against this warning and found several bugs or at least suboptimalities in the process. I put the warning behind -Xlint for the moment, but I think this belongs on by default, even for this alone: scala> List(1, 2, 3) contains "a" <console>:8: warning: a type was inferred to be `Any`; this may indicate a programming error. List(1, 2, 3) contains "a" ^ res0: Boolean = false Or this punishment meted out by SI-4042: scala> 1l to 5l contains 5 <console>:8: warning: a type was inferred to be `AnyVal`; this may indicate a programming error. 1l to 5l contains 5 ^ res0: Boolean = false A different situation where this arises, which I have seen variations of many times: scala> class A[T](default: T) { def get(x: => Option[T]) = x getOrElse Some(default) } <console>:7: warning: a type was inferred to be `Any`; this may indicate a programming error. class A[T](default: T) { def get(x: => Option[T]) = x getOrElse Some(default) } ^ // Oops, this was what I meant scala> class A[T](default: T) { def get(x: => Option[T]) = x getOrElse default } defined class A Harder to avoid spurious warnings when "Object" is inferred.
