Description changed by eschnett:

Old description:

New description:

 In the code below, the return value of {{{forkIO}}} is ignored. The
 compiler does not warn about this. When I disable the {{{ApplicativeDo}}}
 extension, the warning appears as expected.

 {{{
 {-# OPTIONS_GHC -Wall #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE ApplicativeDo #-}

 module Example (main) where

 import Control.Concurrent

 main :: IO ()
 main = do x <- return ()
           forkIO (putStrLn "hello")
           putStrLn $ "world" ++ show x
 }}}
