Re: private methods
I turned on Eclipse's "warn on unused private member" which includes
private methods, (it does not seem to separate the two).
A quick scan of code I recognized suggests they represent functionally
there for completeness, maybe also used at one time, just not currently active.
That represents useful code IMO.
I didn't find much that seemed removable so, from my limited experiment, it
does not look like it would be so useful / much return-on-investment.
"Mostly harmless"
