Software developers and code reviewers have got different opinions
about such checks and their relevance.

This information is clear at first glance.

But it will not provide the warning you might be looking for
while you seem to find my source code analysis approach and
notifications improvable.
I assume that you might be interested in corresponding extensions
for the involved search patterns.

This tool implemented some checks.

Additional tools take also care for similar software development concerns,
don't they?

Can it be appropriate to omit the reference to only one Perl script
for related use cases?
