I understand that here you have the last word. After all, yours the tree, yours the rules. However, I'm used to do only what I can understand. After noticing that you can take in one shot the removal of 7000 unnecessary lines (e.g., please see commit 7bdedfef085b), I really cannot understand why you cannot take also the removal of four initialised but unused variables in one only go. I'm really sorry but, if you cannot reconsider your decision, please drop this patch. I'm pretty sure that someone else is willing to do what you required, but not me. Best regards, Fabio
