Issue Description:

If a function returns a function, and the return value of the former is unused, a compilation error occurs:

    public func foo(x: Int) -> () -> Int {
        return { x }
    }

    foo(42) // ignored return value errors out: "expression resolves to an unused function"

For consistency (and convenience of testing, where I found this problem), such unused return values should yield a warning only.
