[fpc-devel] Incorrect hint (5023) "unit not used", if unit is only used in a conditional compiler expression (like: {$IF ..})

[J. Gareth Moreton]

In my opinion, yes, report this as a bug.  Sure, it's what I'd consider 
"low priority" since it's just an incorrect informative hint rather than 
something critical, but it's a bug nonetheless.
