- I agree many people do not use such tools. But how many people use lint?
- It is the cross-module checking that is in many cases not performed.

- violates the standard. But in that case it is not so much the routine
- itself that violation, but the combination of the routine description
- and the routine itself that might give standard violations. The
- documentation tells us that parameters A and B may be the same while
- this is contradicted by the code.)
