That all goes to the definition of the problem. What does "most-used" mean? If 
I write a macro FOO that contains a single IILH, and I invoke the macro five 
times, is that one IILH or five?

Dead code is just a special case of the question "most coded or most executed?" 
If I re-wrote FOO as a subroutine and called it five times from a loop, is that 
one IILH or five? If I called it zero times, is that one IILH or zero?

Hi Charles,
What about Macro expansions?
What about dead code?
