How to [temporarily] suppress “defined but not used” warnings?

Question

When I prototype Haskell programs, I always get hundreds of warnings like this (not joking):

/Users/bob/SourceCode/course/is/expriment/LiftedSpine2.hs:70:15:
    W         


        

Answer 1

Another possibility, depending on your situation: I believe you can prefix identifiers with an underscore to suppress this warning. So:

_x = 42

will not generate the warning if _x is not used.
