;; Usage: lint FILE1 FILE2 ...
;;
;; Perform various preemptive checks for coding errors in Guile Scheme
;; code.
;;
;; Right now, there is only one check available, for unresolved free
;; variables.  The intention is that future lint-like checks will be
;; implemented by adding to this script file.
;;
;; Unresolved free variables
;; -------------------------
;;
;; Free variables are those whose definitions come from outside the
;; module under investigation.  In Guile, these definitions are
;; imported from other modules using `#:use-module' forms.
;;
;; This tool scans the specified files for unresolved free variables -
;; i.e. variables for which you may have forgotten the appropriate
;; `#:use-module', or for which the module that is supposed to export
;; them forgot to.
;;
;; It isn't guaranteed that the scan will find absolutely all such
;; errors.  Quoted (and quasiquoted) expressions are skipped, since
;; they are most commonly used to describe constant data, not code, so
;; code that is explicitly evaluated using `eval' will not be checked.
;; For example, the `unresolved-var' in `(eval 'unresolved-var
;; (current-module))' would be missed.
;;
;; False positives are also possible.  Firstly, the tool doesn't
;; understand all possible forms of implicit quoting; in particular,
;; it doesn't detect and expand uses of macros.  Secondly, it picks up
;; explicit compatibility code like `(if (defined? 'x) (define y x))'.
;; Thirdly, there are occasional oddities like `next-method'.
;; However, the number of false positives for realistic code is
;; hopefully small enough that they can be individually considered and
;; ignored.
;;
;; Example
;; -------
;;
;; Note: most of the unresolved variables found in this example are
;; false positives, as you would hope.  => scope for improvement.
