If this is the only problem with the direct approach (not depending on 
backtracking), maybe the treatment of warnings can be parametrized to 
behave as expected?

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that achieving the same behavior 
would require to duplicate of lot of the "data-flow" logic in the 
type-checker, thus increasing the global complexity (and the risk to 
have diverging behaviors).
