Comment (by Lemming):

 Replying to [comment:27 konn]:

 > Example:
 >
 > {{{
 > flipAdd :: (Multiplicative r, {-# NON_REDUNDANT #-} Abelian r) => r -> r
 -> r
 > flipAdd x y = x + y
 > }}}
 >
 > Compiler should warn `Multiplicative r` as redundant since it doesn't
 use any multiplication, but `Abelian r` should be unwarned because it's
 marked as ''non-redundant''.

 I like this approach, too, but I would prefer a positive attribute, e.g.
 `{-# REQUIRED #-}` or `{-# INTENDED #-}`.
