 It's "unused" and can be optimized out only when <...> is a pure
functional statement (not changing global state). There is no clean way to
figure this out, since we can use foreign functions, and "purity" is not
specified in a module signature. 'tis a very interesting suggestion:
specify pure functional and state-changing functions in signatures
(automaticaly or manualy), and use this info for a better optimizations.
