Summary

0001691: warning for unused variable bindings?

Description

Full_Name: Wheeler Ruml
Version: 3.06
OS: linux and mingw
Submission from: katsura.parc.xerox.com (13.2.18.21)

Tiny suggestion: how about an optional warning for variables that are bound but
never used elsewhere? For me, at least, this often signals a programming error
(analogous to implicitly ignoring a return value). Perhaps this would apply
only to bindings inside another let, but looking at the .cmi should allow one to
tell whether a toplevel binding could possibly be used by another module.

Just a thought. Thanks for some great software!
