Comment:

 I agree that no warning should be emitted for a monadic action that
 returns `()`. But, I can't seem to reproduce this behavior with 7.6.3. For
 example, when I compile

 {{{
 {-# OPTIONS_GHC -Wall #-}

 module Bug where

 getA :: IO Int
 getA = return 5

 performSideEffect :: IO ()
 performSideEffect = return ()

 someComplicatedIOAction :: IO ()
 someComplicatedIOAction = do
    a <- getA
    performSideEffect
    putStrLn . show $ a
 }}}

 I get no warnings. Is there something I'm missing here?
