The compiler could warn only when calling a function in the same class. I may 
add that check.

But, as I explained before, it cannot do anything for call between two 
different classes.

But when you enter a function call, the IDE shows you the syntax of the 
function in a tooltip, so I don't understand how you could forget an argument 
too often.
