Auto merge of #27099 - AlisdairO:diagnostics3, r=Manishearth

Per the title.  I've linked to the reference at http://doc.rust-lang.org/reference.html#type-parameters-1, but I'm not sure that's such a good link - but there doesn't seem to be a great deal of explanation elsewhere in the reference either...

E0392: r##"
This error indicates that a type or lifetime parameter has been declared
but not actually used. Here is an example that demonstrates the error:
```
enum Foo<T> {
Bar
}
```
If the type parameter was included by mistake, this error can be fixed
by simply removing the type parameter, as shown below:
```
enum Foo {
Bar
}
```
Alternatively, if the type parameter was intentionally inserted, it must be
used. A simple fix is shown below:
```
enum Foo<T> {
Bar(T)
}
```
This error may also commonly be found when working with unsafe code. For
example, when using raw pointers one may wish to specify the lifetime for
which the pointed-at data is valid. An initial attempt (below) causes this
error:
```
struct Foo<'a, T> {
x: *const T
}
```
We want to express the constraint that Foo should not outlive `'a`, because
the data pointed to by `T` is only valid for that lifetime. The problem is
that there are no actual uses of `'a`. It's possible to work around this
by adding a PhantomData type to the struct, using it to tell the compiler
to act as if the struct contained a borrowed reference `&'a T`:
```
use std::marker::PhantomData;
struct Foo<'a, T: 'a> {
x: *const T,
phantom: PhantomData<&'a T>
}
```
PhantomData can also be used to express information about unused type
parameters. You can read more about it in the API documentation:
