Subject: warn-redundant-constraints present as errors

This is a great feature, here is some feedback

My syntax highlighter in emacs expects warnings to have the word "warning" in 
them.
So for the two warnings reported below, the first is highlighted as an error, 
and the second as a warning


Language/Haskell/Refact/Utils/TypeUtils.hs:3036:17:
    Redundant constraint: SYB.Data t
    In the type signature for:
       duplicateDecl :: SYB.Data t =>
                        [GHC.LHsBind GHC.Name]
                        -> t -> GHC.Name -> GHC.Name -> RefactGhc [GHC.LHsBind 
GHC.Name]

Language/Haskell/Refact/Utils/TypeUtils.hs:3045:7: Warning:
    Defined but not used: ‘toks

This is in a ghci session, and the file loads without problems, so it is indeed 
a warning.
Can we perhaps add the word "Warning" to the output for Redundant constraints?
I also had a situation where it asked me to remove a whole lot of constraints 
from different functions, I did them in batches, so did not remove them all 
from the file at once, and at some point I had to add at least one of them 
back, albeit based on an error message.

Regards
