Chosen to start a precedent of using it on ones that are potentially-expensive and where using it for side effects is particularly discouraged. Discuss :)

I think this is going to be annoying for the "collect to unit" use-case. I don't know how much we want to support that, but I thought it worth pointing out.

AFAICT Unit-returning functions never trigger the warning, even if they are the result of monomorphising a function generic in its output type. Also, there's a use case for that FromIterator implementation besides just making collect::<Result<()>>
work?
