;;; Commentary:

;; This is a linter for Emacs Lisp.  Currently, it mainly catches
;; misspellings and undefined variables, although it can also catch
;; function calls with the wrong number of arguments.

;; To use, call `elint-current-buffer' or `elint-defun' to lint a buffer
;; or defun.  The first call runs `elint-initialize' to set up some
;; argument data, which may take a while.

;; The linter will try to "include" any require'd libraries to find
;; the variables defined in those.  There is a fair amount of voodoo
;; involved in this, but it seems to work in normal situations.

;;; To do:

;; * Adding type checking. (Stop that sniggering!)
;; * Make eval-when-compile be sensitive to the difference between
;;   funcs and macros.
;; * Requires within function bodies.
;; * Handle defstruct.
;; * Prevent recursive requires.

;;; Code:

(defcustom elint-scan-preloaded t
  "Non-nil means to scan `preloaded-file-list' when initializing.

This is faster, but less accurate, since it misses undocumented features.
This may result in spurious warnings about unknown functions, etc."

you need to suppress lots of spurious warnings.  The valid list elements
are as follows, and suppress messages about the indicated features:
  undefined-functions - calls to unknown functions
  unbound-reference   - reference to unknown variables
