It makes sense, thanks :)

It really showed under a Warning: header, though:

;;; End of Pass 1.
;;; Warning:
;;;   ! Object found in array but not used
;;; (foo bar baz quux)
;;; Warning:
;;;   ! Object found in array but not used
;;; (bar baz quux)
;;; Warning:
;;;   ! Object found in array but not used
;;; (baz quux)
;;; Warning:
;;;   ! Object found in array but not used
;;; (quux)

Thinking of this I'm wondering if there's not some kind of debug domain
other than errors, warnings and notes, so that it would be more easy to
ignore debug data for a reader?  I'm not sure if frontends like slime
could still deal with them though (maybe this doesn't matter)...
