The rules state "usage" rather than "presence". The fact that references
to these routines might be present in the included code (or the
submitter's code) is not in itself an issue. I am asking that such
statements not be executed.
Do you really believe that I would be so mean-spirited to disqualify
somebody's submission because they included a standard RDS file that just
happened to have one of these keywords in it, but was never executed by
the submitter?
