I had a module with unused name `txFees` in it. I started compilation and
in the same time edited code by renaming `txFees` -> `_txFees`.
I got the following message:
{{{
warning: [-Wunused-matches]
Defined but not used: ‘txFees’
|
40 | } _txFees
| ^^^^^^
<no location info>: error:
Failing due to -Werror.
}}}
The screenshot is in the attachment. Notice that message part is about old
code (`txFees`), and preview is about new code (`_txFees`).
