warning: Unused imported item

│ ^^^^^^ This imported constructor is never used
Hint: You can safely remove it.
I use the constructor in main, and type aliases do not produce new constructors, so I believe this is a false positive. Removing the type alias also gets rid of the warning for some reason.
