;;; 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.
