I don't know Tom's reason. But it is one of the primary indicators of
badly handled data. 

What I think might be more interesting or useful would be to have
another undef type. Call it uninit. THis would be only used for data
that hasn't been initialized. Then there would be two warnings one
for unitialized and one for using undef.

It might be better done by doing some kind of dataflow, but that is
tricky.
