Why couldn't you make it just a warning, or even require a command-line flag for it? As it is now, even trying to write and test a PR for any such code requires modifying the compiler.

The kernel code API is quite… unfinished. It isn’t documented, it performs no validation and it crashes the compiler when written incorrectly. It really isn’t ready for general use. It’s also expected to break in the next few releases.

I will have to revisit kernel code at some point in the future, probably when looking into WASM (which will break all uses of kernel code), but I have other, more important, features to add first.
