I think this is a reframing we should shun because it switches the focus 
from "what is the usefulness of this" to "what is the difficulty of 
putting up with it".

The point here is demonstrating how helpful the feature is in writing 
good quality code. In my time I've seen this warning helping here and 
there, but I'd be hard pressed to convince myself or someone that it 
really adds value. It's one of the most frequent _innocuous_ warnings I 
see in third-party software when I compile it.

Furthermore, I just googled ``go unused variables'' and guess what the 
first entry was:
