Comment (by bgamari):

 One open question here is how this should interact with #10632, which
 requests warnings for unused implicit parameters. This was addressed with
 `-Wredundant-constraints`, which we are now disabling by default. Is it
 reasonable to expect users to enable `-Wredundant-constraints` to be
 warned of unused implicit parameters? Implicit parameters "feel" a lot
 more like arguments than constraints.
