There are zillions of places that rely on the compiler optimizing away
"if (0) ..." stuff. It is a valid and even recommended C programming
technique.

This is definitely no reason to reject a patch.

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-
bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the
road to the drug store, but that's just peanuts to space.
