  25 ;;; Commentary:
  26
  27 ;; This is a linter for Emacs Lisp.  Currently, it mainly catches
  28 ;; misspellings and undefined variables, although it can also catch
  29 ;; function calls with the wrong number of arguments.
  30
  31 ;; To use, call elint-current-buffer or elint-defun to lint a buffer
  32 ;; or defun.  The first call runs `elint-initialize' to set up some
  33 ;; argument data, which may take a while.
  34
  35 ;; The linter will try to "include" any require'd libraries to find
  36 ;; the variables defined in those.  There is a fair amount of voodoo
  37 ;; involved in this, but it seems to work in normal situations.
  38
  39 ;;; To do:
  40
  41 ;; * Adding type checking. (Stop that sniggering!)
  42 ;; * Make eval-when-compile be sensitive to the difference between
  43 ;;   funcs and macros.
  44 ;; * Requires within function bodies.
  45 ;; * Handle defstruct.
  46 ;; * Prevent recursive requires.
