Option to suppress individual RDI "not used" markers

RDi marks variables that aren't used in the left margin, the right margin and a blue squiggle under the variable. The mouse-over tells you that the item isn't used. There are times when you want to permanently suppress that for a given variable in a specific source member. For example, a procedure might return a data structure but the program doesn't use all the subfields.


Use Case:

When I decide that a certain unused variable is OK, I have the option to disable the marker.

Other IDE's that offer similar capability handle this by inserting text into the source, like a comment on the same line or the line above.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
