Er.  Traditionally this attribute is put on declarations to white-list them for 
-Wunused;  i.e. to say that it's okay if they aren't used, not to say that it's 
not okay if they are used.  This breaks a *lot* of expected, perfectly 
idiomatic uses of __attribute__((unused)).  Furthermore, AFAICT 
__attribute__((unavailable)) already captures the desired semantics, at least 
for (ahem) projects that always build with -Werror.

Please revert this or at least take it out of -Wunused.

John.
