Sorry, but this patch doesn’t make sense at all, from my point of view.
It is the declaration of magics that could take place on the volume.
Even if these declarations haven’t been used in the code, then
it is important to be aware about this. I don’t think that it make sense
to follow to the compiler’s complains in this case. I believe that
it needs to keep these declarations.
Thanks,
Viacheslav Dubeyko.
