;;; Commentary:

;; This is a linter for Emacs Lisp. Currently, it mainly catches
;; mispellings and undefined variables, although it can also catch
;; function calls with the wrong number of arguments.

;; Before using, call `elint-initialize' to set up some argument
;; data. This takes a while. Then call elint-current-buffer or
;; elint-defun to lint a buffer or a defun.

;; 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.

;;; History:

;;; To do:

;; * A list of all standard Emacs variables would be nice to have...
;; * Adding type checking. (Stop that sniggering!)

;;; Code:

(defvar elint-log-buffer "*Elint*"
  "*The buffer to insert lint messages in.")

;;;
