Monty, what would it take to have MySQL warn about this when you add
the entry? I don't know how the warning could be displayed, or where
it would be triggered. But it seems easy enough to tell if there are
user@host entries that will never be used because there are anonymous
user entries that are shadowing them. Maybe adding it to mysqlaccess
would be good (except I don't think most people use mysqlaccess, for
some reason). Maybe it's already in mysqlaccess (I don't use it, for
some reason, too).
