Description Andrew Taylor CLA 2003-08-12 23:57:58 EDT 
Ok, I have a big one for you guys...

Through repeated code updating, logic can get a bit redundant, if this then...
if same then... if not same then... all stuff coders are used to dealing with. 
It's rather logical work (obviously), and could lend itself to auto cleanup...
tho obviously with a preview/undo capability.  Perhaps code could be analyzed,
grouped under certain conditions and reordered in the most efficient (ie less
LOC) as possible.  It would also require the programmer to concentrate less on
the mundate lower logic and more on the higher level.  It certainly wouldn't be
easy, but it would be another bullet in the gun of the best damn ide out there.

Regards,

Andy

This is a perfect thrid party opportunity. Given our current schedule this 
will most likely not happen for 3.0 without external support.

Marked as help wanted

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
