Everyone has opinions about names, so I'll share mine.

I think something long like

   disable_unused_variable_warning

is better.

In fact, I don't know if there are other types of warnings people try to
disable with code-tricks like these, but it might even make sense to
make it be

   disable_warning::unused_variable

Even if this is the only such entity, I kinda like the way the code
reads with the "::" in it.  In general, anything in the
"disable_warning" namespace would be "code with no effect" stuff like
this example.
