I think it is basically the wrong idea to encode (type and) usage
information in the name of an identifier. One should use the type system
for that, or, failing that, annotations. Something like
data Foo = Foo | @SuppressWarnings("unused") Bar
See my proposal for unified and extendible annotations
http://www.haskell.org//pipermail/haskell-prime/2006-February/000279.html
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/javaOO/annotations.html
Of course compilers/IDEs are free to support whatever naming conventions
they want but I think such conventions should not go into the language
standard.
Best regards,
