Comment:

 [http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/pragmas.html
 #deprecated-pragma Docs for 7.6.1] now read:
   Warnings and deprecations are not reported for (a) uses within the
 defining module, and (b) uses in an export list. The latter reduces
 spurious complaints within a library in which one module gathers together
 and re-exports the exports of several others.
 which seems to be equivalent to Malcolm's "before", not his "after".
