Through a patch by Oleg Grenrus (phadej), GHC 8 will have the following new flags: -fwarn-unused-top-binds -fwarn-unused-local-binds -fwarn-unused-pattern-binds
So you'll be able to pick and choose.
I suppose a record accessor would be considered a top bind? I still
kind of like getting warnings about those, just not the ones from
records...

I do it this way and I do not consider it a work-around. The underscore is just the shortest way to say that a record field name is not used. It's shorter than any pragma could be.
I agree, that's what I meant by "not much better than changing the name". I guess it would have to be yet another flag like -fwarn-unused-record-accessors... not sure if it would be worth it though, considering it's a relatively minor issue.
