Comment (by Lemming):
Replying to [comment:15 acfoltzer]:
> I also wonder if it might make sense to distinguish between certain
types of redundancy: for example, in our code a redundancy arising from a
superclass relationship (e.g., `(Functor f, Applicative f)`) is almost
always something we want to fix, but unused classes are almost always an
API design choice rather than a bug we wish to avoid.

> I'm not sure where mboes' example falls between these cases, but maybe
distinguishing the two cases and only including the superclass redundancy
in `-Wall` could make folks happier?
I would prefer that.
