I often miss lint's capability to find unused variables/procedures in my Ada
sources.  I know that the compiler and code generator "optimize away" unused
variables, but it would be nice to be able to clean up my sources.  I use
Alsys and Sun Ada to produce my executables, but I use Meridian's cross
reference program to find unused variables.

Do the "Ada Style Checkers" identify unused variables and procedures?
