I've put it on my ignore list.

It already does that for derivations (in CML1, define_*). The real problem here is that my report generators aren't smart enough to tell when a CML1 symbol is referenced in a CML1 config but never set. That problem could be solved, but it's unusual that I don't think it's worth the effort. -- <a href="http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/">Eric S. Raymond</a>
