An intersting thing came up when implementing warnings for unused type variables in type family patterns (#10982 / D1576): type family X a b where X a a = Int Should we emit a warning that `a` is unused? It does not appear in the RHS but it is actually used because of non-linear pattern. We can fix this by prefixing both appearances of `a` with an underscore - this silences the warning and maintains semantics. Nevertheless, if a variable is unused it should be perfectly valid to replace it with an underscore - that is not the case in this example. Thoughts?
