And specifically what I want, as a programmer with similar views to you, is for Present Me to be able to write my code such that when Future Me or Not Me (lacking the context Present Me is immersed in right now) does something foolish with it, they will get protests from the language implementation (compiler or interpreter) that tell them what context they need to acquire in order to be able to do their job without the protesting.

This is just because programming is hard, and there's a lot of context behind every decision you make while programming. If you lack that context, you'll make mistakes, and one of the things I now value in programming languages is telling you that you're missing context.
