Unnumber in IDz is very slow & blocks the UI

If a program is relatively large (in this case it's 8000 lines long), then the unnumber option in IDz takes a long time (enough time to go and pick up a coffee) & IDz displays a progress bar that precludes you from doing anything else.

R?gle d'identification des cas de manipulation de donn?es via (position:longueur) Rule of identification of data manipulation cases via (position: length)
