Identify redundant indices

Over time, application developer define indices to improve their query performance. Over time, it's possible that some query definition may not be used and therefore (a) consume processing time during filing and (b) consume diskspace, journal spaces etc. We have tools to list out all defined indices, but nothing to tell us if, a defined query is ever used.
