#3283: Selective disabling of unused bind warnings

I like to compile with -fwarn-unused-binds to keep my code clean, but I
think a couple of extra flags to control this would be useful:
* -fno-warn-unused-fields which would turn off warnings for record field
names that were not used. I know you can prefix them with _, but then when
you do use them then you have to change the name, etc.
* A {-# USED f, g, h, ... #-} pragma to tell the compiler not to warn
about the functions given in the pragma.
I can see how especially the second could be controversial as it
introduces an incompatibility, but I think both of these features could be
put to good use. Not very high priority, though.
