All of the routines and variables will be included, whether
you use them or not.

I've been thinking about making a smarter bind program that
would detect unused stuff, and leave it out of the
.exe file (or shrouded source file). It would have to make
2 passes through all of the code. The first to detect unreferenced
symbols. The second to emit code into the .exe file for the routines
and variables that are actually used.  routine_id() would
complicate matters a bit.
