Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 I have no objection to the proposal in comment:4. That being said, it's
 far from clear to me how to implement it. Unlike other flags that
 `deriving` toggles, which primarily live in the renamer, `-Winaccessible-
 code` warnings are emitted during error reporting, which happens after
 typechecking. What's more, when `-Winaccessible-code` warnings are
 created, GHC only has access to an `Implication`, which gives no
 indication about whether it was created from derived code or not...
