After running UCD and getting various markers for unused code, we currently have to go through a manual step of commenting out the code.

It would be very helpful if UCD had a setting that made it comment out anything it finds that's unused, and then rerun to find code no longer used because of the commenting, continuously on a file until everything possible is removed.

But even if it just did one level of commenting, and we had to rerun it, that would solve 90% of our cases, because we're mostly concerned about excessive coupling in interfaces and public APIs, which tend to only need one pass.
