I didn't see any reactions to this.

Is it not a bug to emit the error message "Unrecognised pragma"?

If it isn't, then is the documentation sentence quoted above a documentation bug? And how do I trun off the message - it is very incovenient, as I get an awful lot of them, and it makes it hard for me to see real error messages.

There's a flag to turn off the warnings: -fno-warn-unrecognised-pragmas. Looks like we forgot to document it, though - thanks for highlighting it. http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3031 Cheers, Simon
