Indeed  -->   removed now.
Thank you very much, Suharto!

------- --------
"Exercise" (tongue in cheek) to the reader:
Write a "code walker" (an R function itself) that takes an
argument 'expr', which is an R expression (think of a *body* of a
function 'f')  and is able to  mark e.g.  warn about  such
"dead" code in 'expr' (and hence in function 'f' ...)  --- with 
the important underlying assumption that all functions that are
called inside 'f' have "no side effects".
