Proposal: Fine-Grained Unused Warnings (#42) Author: Jakob Brünker Rendered proposal: https://github.com/JakobBruenker/ghc-proposals/blob/fine-grained-unused/prop... Discussion: https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/434 Recommendation: Acceptance ## Summary The proposal partitions warning about unused identifiers into a) bindings that are truly unused (not mentioned anywhere) and b) bindings that are mentioned exclusively in code that is itself (transitively) unused, and suppresses the latter unless the -freport-indirectly-unused-bindings flag is specified. The proposal is concise with some well-chosen examples and I recommend everyone at least skim it. I propose that we accept this proposal if nobody objects by the start of next week (Monday, 2024-02-19). Chris
