Just get rid of it. This utterly pointless and extremely annoying warning does
not even work properly anyway:

integer id id=0
function f() id=3 return id end function
function g(integer i) return i end function
    if id or f()=0 then end if
    if id or g(0) then end if
    if id or g(f()) then end if

You only get a warning on the first if statement, and none if you comment that
one line out, despite the fact that the self same f() can just as easily be
short-circuited on the third if statement. Which as I have also pointed out is
NOT to be taken as encouragement to make matters worse.

Anyway, it looks pretty easy to remove, ~line 442 in parser.e
