You probably don't want the warning on by default, since it is a Feature
that unrecognised pragmas are ignored by default.

I'd add the warning, except that it's not trivial - the pragmas are
thrown away in the lexer, and the monad doesn't have a way to collect up
warnings.  I'll put it on the task list though.
