An alternative was to simply add MAYBE_UNUSED, however that does not eliminate the magic number. Another alternative was to change the definition to extern const char BITMAP_IDX_SIGNATURE[4]; However, this design was also not chosen as the static definition allows us to keep the declaration together for readability along with removing the magic number.
