[Haskell-cafe] GHC's -fwarn-unused-imports ignores function signatures

[Michael Snoyman]

I was writing code similar to the following and compiling with "-Wall
-Werror." Clearly I *am* using Data.ByteString for the function signatures.

{-# OPTIONS_GHC -fwarn-unused-imports -Werror #-}
import qualified Data.ByteString as B
import qualified Data.ByteString.UTF8 as BU

toString :: B.ByteString -> String
toString = BU.toString

fromString :: String -> B.ByteString
fromString = BU.fromString

main :: IO ()
main = putStrLn $ toString $ fromString "Hello World!"


The warning I get is:


Unused.hs:2:0:
    Warning: Module `Data.ByteString' is imported, but nothing from it is
used,
               except perhaps instances visible in `Data.ByteString'
             To suppress this warning, use: import Data.ByteString()



Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug in GHC?

Thanks,
Michael
