Here's a great little project for someone with a little free time: integrate the "inspect" tool into the regression-testing infrastructure, so that any problems found by the inspect program show up as regressions against the library. Each library would have an implicit "inspect" test inspecting that library's sources, documentation, etc.
Ha! Good idea! Reporting inspection failures as part of normal testing would bring problems to developers attention much earlier in the development process. That's a *good thing*. The inspect program is very fast, so it should not impact build times. I've got a list started of ways to improve the release process, and have added this suggestion. Thanks, --Beman
