There are warnings about unused variables.
Also, if you use the "-list" option of the
binder or shrouder, it will give you a file
called "deleted.txt" that contains a list
of all the unused (and therefore deleted from the shrouded code)
constants and routines. Many of these will be
in the standard Euphoria libraries, Win32Lib etc.
but some may be in your own files.

As for automatically deleting code from a user's source,
that's far too risky to contemplate.
