Could it be because they are almost undocumented? All I could find was a
mention in the compiler release notes and an entry in erl_lint (which I have
never even opened before, and probably wouldn't if it didn't appear in a
documentation search on "warn_unused_vars")

Perhaps R9 will bring a list of ALL useful compiler flags into the COMPILER
documentation.
