I'd been coding for awhile, and I have hard times to remember the last 
time I have had unused vars or other pieces of code, that would be there 
intentionally... Sure, I may have got some sort of brain-damage due to 
heavy use of "gcc -Wall" and "lint" to affect to my coding style so that 
I unconsciously avoid warning-generating sketchs...

About those unused imports (mentioned by Robert) - I think that the 
compiler could stop also with those. I was just coming to that subject :D
