Proposal
Move the drop_bounds lint from clippy into the compiler. The lint would be warn by default, and fire when generic bounds require a type to implement Drop.
For instance, the following code
fn do_something<T: Drop>(_x: T) { }
would trigger the lint. This pattern is, as ExpHP put it, dangerous and wrong, as well as a common tripping point for newbies, so it would be ideal for the compiler to help prevent this particular footgun.
