It's for a case like this one:
(define (f g)
(let ([y (g)])
g))
The binding `y' isn't used, so it can go away. To be consistent with
the original program, though, a run-time check will be needed ensure
that `(g)' returns a single value. The check is implemented by using
the `let-one' bytecode form, but the binding is marked as "unused" as a
hint to the JIT compiler.
