It's a bit funny that the warning is named 'lexical', when it's about
a non-lexical variable.

We might want to support suppressing the warning for obsolete
functions and variables separately?

This is the 'mapcar called for effect' one, right? Could we group it
with 'value returned from (+ 1 2) is unused' for (progn (+ 1 2) nil)?
Even though the byte compiler implementation might have them seperate,
I think they're pretty much the same thing from the point of view of
an elisp author.
