The esyntaxer tool will warn and/OR autocorrect; user's choice. The
warnings are intended to teach (by pointing to documentation) rather
than just moaning and groaning. And while I'll agree that there are
always edge cases and autocorrection will never be 100%, I must say that
the kinds of errors I'm correcting aren't that hard. Besides, esyntaxer
isn't something your run and forget; it is *not* a replacement for peer
review by good ole' humans. :)
