In general, I don't like such caveats. Either something is in the
language or it is not.
You don't have to use all language features (I certainly don't), but if
somebody takes advantage of them, you shouldn't consider it bad style.
So if you don't like

take your complaints to whoever accepted the syntax in the language.
One cannot blame it all to the languages designers. They try hard to
optimize the programming workflows.
The responsibility is evenly split between the users and the designers
to use and to design reasonable, maintainable and robust language features.
