I prefer not to make this change.

nb_iargs is the cached value that corresponds to opc, which we have just
changed.  If we later make a change at "do_default" that uses nb_iargs, failure
to update the value here will be a very hard bug to find.

I am happy to let the compiler remove this as dead code itself.
