<h1>Alpha Checkers</h1>
|
|
Experimental checkers in addition to the <a href = "available_checks.html">
|
|
Default Checkers</a>. These are checkers with known issues or limitations that
|
|
keep them from being on by default. They are likely to have false positives.
|
|
Bug reports are welcome but will likely not be investigated for some time.
|
|
Patches welcome!
