 <h1>Alpha Checkers</h1>
 Experimental checkers in addition to the <a href = "available_checks.html">
 Default Checkers</a>. These are checkers with known issues or limitations that
 keep them from being on by default. They are likely to have false positives.
 Bug reports are welcome but will likely not be investigated for some time.
 Patches welcome!
