What I think Jan and I wanted to say is that -Wunused-param is not
useless; but that it comes at too high a price for too little gain.
The example that Jan provided was meant to be a real-life example
where the warning would have been useful (assuming that the high
noise/signal ration haven't conditioned us to simply silence it without
looking further).
