           Summary: Unreachable scope(failure) should be warned

>From issue 11574:

import std.stdio;

void someFunc()
{
     scope(failure) { writeln("What?");} // <-- never executed.
     scope(failure) {
         writeln("Failed in someFunc()");
         return;
     }
     throw new Exception("Exception!");
}

void main() {
     try {
         someFunc();
         writeln("Yay, someFunc() is nothrow");
     } catch(Exception e) {
         writeln("An exception in main!");
     }
}

In someFunc, the first scope(failure) is never executed. There's no bug, but I think, if -w specified, dmd should warn the code as that it is not reachable.
