I think we could probably define a NOOP_BODY macro or function and use
that instead. But it may not be worth the trouble. I'd have to see how
painful that would be, and whether it might find any cases that actually
look like real bugs.

For -Wunused-parameter I am working towards being able to actually
enable that everywhere. It is not _too_ bad to annotate the instances
which must be there, and my digging with it has uncovered several real
bugs. Right now I'm in the "drop useless parameters" phase, which I
expect will take one or two more rounds.

Then I'll start on the "annotate unused ones we must keep" series, which
culminates in actually flipping on the switch with DEVELOPER (or rather,
stopping flipping it off).

You can see my progress on the jk/unused-4-mark branch of
https://github.com/peff/git (I think the contents are good, but the
commit messages and organization need some cleanup).

The push/pop ones may be of use (which both clang and gcc seem to
support), since that would let us localize the effects. I think in many
cases there's usually a more readable solution, though (e.g., you'd want
to annotate specific parameters as unused with single word, not a 3-line
push-diag/declare-param/pop-diag mess).
