Bug description

Sometimes I have code like this at the top of a .ml file:

module A    = BatArray
module AC   = Autocorr
module S    = BatString
[...]

After some big refactoring, it might be useful to detect which modules
are no more used, with a compiler warning for example.

A patch is attached. Some more testing (including non-regression tests) would be needed.

Is there a way I can get a compiler with this patch applied, via OPAM
for example?
I'd like to give it a shot.

If this is going to land, it'd nice to be able to say [module _M = ...]. Warnings that can't be turned off selectively can't be turned on usually (for instance fragile pattern matchings, or unused open in mlis before "open!").

This is #6662. But it's not like there is no way to turn the warning off, you can already write:

include (... : sig end)

#6662 is about making this more convenient.
