I'm -1 for the proposed patch (and probably -0 on the general idea). I think 
the patch has the potential *introducing* new warnings, as compilers might warn 
that a return is lacking in these functions. 

I'm -0 on the general idea, as I think the status quo is just fine.

As for Victor's second use case (run-time checking that supposedly-unreachable 
code is indeed not reached, in release mode), I'm -0 also: we check that in 
debug mode; this looks sufficient to me.
