GHC will report unused bindings (-fwarn-unused-binds)
but only within a module. If it's exported, GHC doesn't help you.
I'm sure GHC itself has plenty of dead code that only a global analysis
can spot!
GHC's interface file for a module reports all the imported things that
the module
depends on. So the raw material for a global analyser is in place.

| Subject: Dead code detection
|
|
| I am working with a fairly rapidly changing code base,
| with another person besides me making changes. Can any of
| the Haskell compilers warn about unused function definitions,
| or does a similar standalone tool exist? I am fairly sure the
| code base includes redundant definitions that just clutter up
| the source, and I would like to be able to detect them easily.
