In preparation of decommissioning its StackingIter, I noticed I had some minor
cleanups ready for this class. Checking closer, the code was still way too
messy for my taste, so I went further --and further... Quite far, actually, so
a bit of explanation needed in case someone goes looking for code that I
removed.
I noticed there was quite a lot of code that, in fact, was never, ever used. It
seemed like an experiment from Luca, that likely should have been kept in a
branch instead of being committed to the trunk in an incomplete state. All it
did here was confuse people, in a class which is quite heavily used.
I first spent quite some time cleaning up commented log.debug() statements in
the method createUnitElements(), then decided to check where the method was
called, and found it was only used in one place, in getChangedKnuthElements():

Now, that bpUnit member is written *only* in BlockLayoutManager and
BlockContainerLayoutManager, where it is set to 0 in the initialize() method.
In effect, the method was unused, so I decided to bite the bullet and remove it.
Additionally, given the above, I have also removed similar references to this
bpUnit member in other places, which eliminates some conditional branches. I
have not yet removed the variable itself, since it is still read in a few
subclasses.

Andreas
