  "textContent": "Maybe instead of replacing it with `unused_items`, replacing it with `unused_api` that acts identically to it does now would make more sense. As for transitivity, anything marked with an `#[allow/expect(unused(_<thing>))]` would be considered used in that context, as I believe it behaves now but will look into for things like imports. I'm going to add to the questions section whether the replacement should be called `unused_items` or `unused_api` and whether macros and/or imports should be included.",
