No what you have is fine. I'm just curious about why the double case is 
only examined in a non-product build ??

>>> I have *not* tried to find and remove *all* unused Label variables, because that turns out to be much harder than it might seem. I may or may not follow up on this work to remove additional unused Label variables later, but before that I’m investigating removal of other unused variables in general. Meanwhile I like to think that this is a reasonable cleanup anyway.
