;;; 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.

;;; Code:
