Confusing flags for rewrite rules

Functions exported via rewrite rules are incorrectly flagged as "defined but not used" when -Wall is enabled:

module M ({- rules -}) where

eq :: Eq a => a -> a -> Bool
eq = (==)

{-# RULES
    "rule 1" forall x. x == y = y `eq` x
  #-}

Will emit a bogus:

  M.hs:4:0: Warning: Defined but not used: `eq'
