I like the idea of having GHC spit out warnings and such of this form, but this is so straightforward to do with Template Haskell:
$([] <$ reportWarning "Fix this function!")
You could do something similar in terms, spitting out `id` instead of an empty list of declarations. (You'd have to be careful where you do this, admittedly.)
If it's this easy to do in userland without affecting the compiler, let's do it that way. And, even better, with some library support, you could customize this behavior in all sorts of ways.

I would use the WARNING pragma but that doesn't work within a module and
only triggers on use. Compiler errors are the one thing I and everyone
else pays attention to, it would be very handy to have more control over
things GHC reports to the developer to aid development.

+1. I actively use WARNING in such cases, and I'd prefer the warning to
be reported at the definition site.
It'd also be great to allow this pragma anywhere in the code, but I
realize it'd complicate the parser.
