Hi,
recently I noticed by accident that the variable
`gnus-article-check-size' is mentioned exactly once in the Gnus source
code: in its defvar form. That seems to indicate it's not used anymore.
I got nosy and searched for variable names which were not used anywhere
in the code. I found 93 names (and some more functions). Before I post
all these names in which libraries do I also have to look for usage of
variables? I can't believe that so much variables should be garbage.
