Changes (by simonpj):

  * difficulty:  => Unknown

Comment:

 Indeed.  And on inspection there are quite a few other examples. e.g
 {{{
 module F( T(..) ) where
 type T = Int
 }}}
 yields a warning even with `-w`.

 I can see two choices:
  * Track down all the exceptions and give them a flag, even if it's
 `-Wmisc`.  But it may be tiresome to find every warning.
 OR
  * Make `-w` set a bit that suppresses all warnings from all causes.  This
 is easier to implement, because it can be done in one place.  The trouble
 with this is that `-w -fwarn-incomplete-patterns` would not warn of
 incomplete patterns (because the suppress-warning bit is set).

 How important is this?
