What did you do?

https://play.golang.org/p/O_76qweGQ0g

package main

func main() {
	var x int
	x = 7 - x
}

What did you expect to see?

Although x is used in assignment over itself, there is no usage of x, it is nice to get "not used" error for preventing unnecessary computations.

What did you see instead?

Nothing, run successfully

At this date I would worry that making this change would cause many correct Go programs to stop compiling.

See #20802 for a related issue.
