I have done a lot of setq commands with a non-existing variable name
by accident, yes.
Anyway, what does it imply to toggle overwrite-mode _by_ _accident_ in
a readonly buffer? It is not unheard of that it is toggled
accidentally since the Insert key is easy to hit by accident.
But the _one_ case where this accident will have no unexpected
consequences at all, namely in a readonly buffer, you want a warning.
What for? What are the ill consequences of not heeding the warning?
You can't even destroy text accidentally with the changed setting
since the buffer is readonly.
