There's a warning for unused private methods.  I'm not sure whether what
you want can be properly done: How should this module know that you are
not building a library and in fact many public methods are not called in
the library code?  Maybe it's worth a feature request to expand this
warning to package visible methods.  But that might be as far as
automation could get.

If you want to know it for a single method just rename it and watch the
compiler errors.
