Rust Internals [Unofficial] March 4, 2026

I want to add that "dead code" is a common industry term that e.g. also finds its way into coding standards. "rustc can detect dead code by itself accurately" is a pretty big selling point and the feature having that name is really useful. I also don't think it should be deprecated.
