Comment:

 We won't be applying this patch.  GHC 7.2 will not generate the warning.
 In the meantime you have to disable the warning for Alex-generated code.
 Unfortunately it's not possible to make Alex do this itself, because it
 can't tell whether GHC supports the correct option (and conditional
 compilation for OPTIONS_GHC pragmas is also a recently-added feature).

 If you look through the history of the Alex repository
 ([http://darcs.haskell.org/alex]) you'll see us go back and forth on this
 issue over the last few releases.
