Comment (by simonpj):

 If you specify the minimal complete definition, using the MINIMAL pragma
 (which is part of 7.8, but not 7.6) then it should warn.  If it doesn't,
 that's a bug.  Can you give the complete source code for a program that
 exhibits the bug... if we can't reproduce it we can't fix it.

 Thanks

 Simon
