perhaps this should be a compiler warning instead?
If both C<@MAIN> and C<end> are missing, we could compile a module. So sometimes you'll get a warning and sometimes not. Not good IMHO.
Yeah. And IMCC's really a low-level thing--if you get the code to it wrong, then you've got a busted compiler and are likely in lots of trouble as it is. (Not that it makes *writing* a compiler any easier, though...)
I think I'd as soon leave out this check by default, and enable it (and other compiler-writer-friendly operations) with a --picky option. That way we don't pay the cost normally, but it's there to be paid if we really need it. (Or enable it with a #define that's normally not defined, or something)
