Unused procedures and variables warning

It would be very useful if RDP shows warnings about unused variables and unused procedures. Every declared variable that isn't reference should be highlighted, indicating that is unused. For internal procedures (not exported) the behavior should be the same.


Use Case:

A programmer re-structures a module, but forgots to check that every variable and procedure is referenced. RDp shows warnings indicating about this unused items. This will help with software maintenance tasks and will promote clean code.
