For example, if you’ve uttered “override” at least once in a class, it makes sense to warn-by-default about any other overrides in that class that weren’t marked as “override”, because you’re being locally inconsistent. Or maybe you can expand that heuristic out to a file-level granularity (which matches better for the null point constant warning) and still be on-by-default.

Right. Doing it at the end of the class is rather easy and should be fairly cheap.
