On the other hand, there's also the opposite scenario: in some
cases, a function/macro has already been removed, but the ARI
still finds apparent uses (which are in fact just occurances
of local variable etc. that just happen to have the same name
as the removed global construct).

I'm aware of at least the following checks that can be removed:

supply_register (finds a local struct member)
obj_private (finds a local variable)
inside_entry_func (find a -now- static function)

Ulrich
