Thing is that writing a lint program entails writing most of an optimizing C
compiler--everything except the code generation part--since the data flow
analysis one winds up doing is just what an optimizer wants to see to get rid
of the apparently unnecessary calculations that lint gripes about as potential
bugs!

So...if someone has the urge to do it, go for it.  It wouldn't take that much
added effort to go ahead and write a C compiler.
