Interesting. Your shadow detection code would probably detect some
problems with my library routines. For distribution I occasionally
insert one routine into another. In my own library I keep them
separate, but for distribution, I don't want people to have to bother
with too many files, so sometimes they are merged. So you will detect
DEFSUBCELL in more than one file, for example.
