The JADE 2022 release meets tomorrow’s business demands.
Sometimes when refactoring a method, the use of a transient local variable is removed, but the deletion of the variable in the epilog may be missed. It would be useful if the detection of unused local variables could detect if the only use of a variable is a delete.
