+### Fixing unused import warnings
+In Scala 2.13 the `import scala.collection.compat._` sometimes is not needed (e.g. `.to(SeqType)` is natively available).
+This leads to a `unused import` warning under Scala 2.13 even though the import is required for Scala 2.12.
+In order to work around this, you can pass a compiler option to ignore this specific issue, e.g. in SBT:
+```scala
+scalacOptions += "-Wconf:origin=scala.collection.compat.*:s"
+```
