Developers, is is there any other output which might be interesting to

Okay; I'm sending a followup which is my first attempt at providing a
best-practice script. At least 50% of what I want is to provide

useful stuff. None of it should be very noisy at all for people
following best-practices, but should still catch as many things as
possible of course.
