I haven't heard of anyone doing this - sounds like a good idea, and a 
possibly useful extension to LXR.

Might be, but I can't think of one off the top of my head.  If you could 
send me the SQL you were using I can look to see if it can be built into 
LXR in some way - perhaps by adding a "find unused symbols" search, or 
by showing unused symbols in the ident search?
