-# Here are some issues that I've had people identify in my code during reviews,
-# that I think are possible to flag automatically in a lint tool.  If these were
-# caught by lint, it would save time both for myself and that of my reviewers.
-# Most likely, some of these are beyond the scope of the current lint framework,
-# but I think it is valuable to retain these wish-list items even if they cannot
-# be immediately implemented.
-#
-#  Suggestions
-#  -----------
-#  - Check for no 'explicit' for multi-arg ctor
-#  - Check for boolean assign RHS in parens
-#  - Check for ctor initializer-list colon position and spacing
-#  - Check that if there's a ctor, there should be a dtor
-#  - Check accessors that return non-pointer member variables are
-#    declared const
-#  - Check accessors that return non-const pointer member vars are
-#    *not* declared const
-#  - Check for using public includes for testing
-#  - Check for spaces between brackets in one-line inline method
-#  - Check for no assert()
-#  - Check for spaces surrounding operators
-#  - Check for 0 in pointer context (should be NULL)
-#  - Check for 0 in char context (should be '\0')
-#  - Check for camel-case method name conventions for methods
-#    that are not simple inline getters and setters
-#  - Do not indent namespace contents
-#  - Avoid inlining non-trivial constructors in header files
-#  - Check for old-school (void) cast for call-sites of functions
-#    ignored return value
-#  - Check gUnit usage of anonymous namespace
-#  - Check for class declaration order (typedefs, consts, enums,
-#    ctor(s?), dtor, friend declarations, methods, member vars)
