The symbol 'drop' is undefined

why did i encounter the error?
Because you're using an option, which goes with the "dummify" command,
together with the _function_ called "dummify". In fact, it is confusing.
If it weren't for backwards compatibility, there would be no reason to
keep the command IMO.
