Perhaps "any compiler that tries to warn about unused objects". Janus/Ada 
doesn't do that, so it doesn't need some facility to turn it off, either. 
But I grant that if it did have such a warning, then some method to turn it 
off is needed. (We have a pragma Warning_Level for turning off classes of 
warnings in selective areas, nothing for individual warnings -- my 
assumption has been that a warning message mught change when the compiler 
gets upgraded, but the class of warning will not [unless of course there is 
something else wrong].)
