[Bug fortran/34092] New: Should warn about unused private variables

[terry at chem dot gu dot se]

Consider the following module:

module fred
implicit none
private
integer,parameter::i=1
integer::j
end module fred

With gcc version 4.3.0 20071109 (experimental) (GCC), no warnings are issued:

[tjf@fkpc167 Explore]$ gfortran -Wall -Wextra -c fred.f90
[tjf@fkpc167 Explore]$

Normally those module-level variables should not be warned about as they likely
are accessed in using program units.  But in this case they are private to the
module.  Unused variables with the private attribute cannot be used elsewhere
and should be warned about as if they were in a main program.
