It is a gas that you use during the dive (concurrently) with other gasses, and some may (especially if you use argon instead of air) want to keep accounts on the amount used in each dive. In my case, it is also the bailout gas. Yes, the suit gas is a special gas in the sense that it does not participate in respiration, OTOH it is probably the third most common gas spent when diving. I understand that if you try to recreate the decompression data from the spent gasses, then you should not include the suit gas. If this makes the implementation unnecessarily complicated, then I do agree that it can be dropped from the list.
