Comment (by Lemming):

 Replying to [comment:15 acfoltzer]:

 > I also wonder if it might make sense to distinguish between certain
 types of redundancy: for example, in our code a redundancy arising from a
 superclass relationship (e.g., `(Functor f, Applicative f)`) is almost
 always something we want to fix, but unused classes are almost always an
 API design choice rather than a bug we wish to avoid.

 > I'm not sure where mboes' example falls between these cases, but maybe
 distinguishing the two cases and only including the superclass redundancy
 in `-Wall` could make folks happier?

 I would prefer that.
