But so what? You check to see that your compiler eliminates the code and if it does, you're in like flynn. If it doesn't, you have to decide if having dead code in your system matters to you. Unless you have very tight memory constraints and/or very stringent testing requirements, it probably doesn't matter. Semantically, its the same thing. >From a language lawyer perspective, there may be an issue here. From the perspective of practical application, I don't think it matters. More of an issue is the fact that you can't use this mechanism in declarative parts and you can't toggle it on/off from the compiler command line.
