I'm curious to whether this needs to be embedded in the compiler or whether a standalone tool can be offered. See http://code.activestate.com/recipes/277940/ for an example of processing the bytecodes directly. FWIW, deadcode can already be detected by some of the existing code quality tools: http://www.doughellmann.com/articles/CompletelyDifferent-2008-03-linters/index.html . What does this patch offer beyond what we already have with those tools?
