## Lint

In case the awesome nirvana that is linting has not yet been unleashed upon you:
> lint was the name originally given to a particular program that flagged some suspicious and non-portable constructs (likely to be bugs) in C language source code. The term is now applied generically to tools that flag suspicious usage in software written in any computer language.
