(#20367577)
If IDEs did the same for unused variables, I'd probably shift as well, but right now, commenting out a line quickly degenerates into a game of whack a mole, because it causes a previous calculation to become "unused", and commenting out that line causes two more things to become unused, etc. The last thing I want during debugging is to have to fight the compiler at every step.
Debugging is the main reason I wrote this mod.
