This turns off the warnings about unused imports _unless_ one is using the oldest supported version of GHC (right now that's 8.4.4 or older); then it turns them into errors! This prevents xmonad from emitting warnings about imports that have to be there due to backwards compatibility, but are obsolete in newer versions (think MFP), while at the same time preventing bitrot.

You need the ghc compiler and xmonad window manager installed in order to use these extensions.
