Some other warnings like 'unused-imports' don't make much sense on by 
default with -Wall.
This warning is only useful for linting purpose, and clearly doesn't 
fall in the same category as other useful ones.

That would remove the need for a lot of CPP that got added in the 7.10 
era, like:

#if ...
import Control.Applicative
#end
