Try

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/flag-reference.html#id2959068

With -Wall I get

bash-3.2$ ghc -c -Wall Foo.hs

Foo.hs:3:0:
    Warning: Definition but no type signature for `func'
             Inferred type: func :: forall t t1. (Num t1) => t -> t1

Foo.hs:3:5: Warning: Defined but not used: `x'

Foo.hs:4:10:
    Warning: This binding for `x' shadows the existing binding
               bound at Foo.hs:3:5

| 
| Hello! I wonder, why GHC shows no warning in situations like
| 
| func x = x
|     where x = 5
| 
| Sometimes I forget about argument names used, and use the same names in let or where.
| And it can take me quite a lot time to understand what is wrong. I think it would be
| nice to warn users if the argument is "redefined" in let/where clause. Shall I report
| a bug/feature request? I'm using ghc 6.10.4.
| 
| btw, I couldn't post to IRC: #ghc :Cannot send to channel
