That looks cool. But that still needs a lot of manual filtering to get
results, e.g. to find an unused type or function specified in the
input signature for a functor.

It could be nice for ocaml to have warnings for this directly. E.g.:

module type M = ssig type t type s val x : int end
moduel F(M : M) = struct type t = M.t end

Warning: unused value x in signature M for functor F
Warning: unused type s in signature M for functor F

Similar for types / values defined but not used in .ml files that do
not appear in the .mli file.
