sure, one could perform all sorts of analysis on the code. but i think that would be beside the point. i find that code that is subtle enough to evoke a warning often needs to be simplified for the benefit of other humans — or even the author in a week. in your case, you can either provide a dummy assignment or use SET(var) to inform 8c that it can forget about that warning. - erik
