;;; 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:

;; * List of variables and functions defined in dumped lisp files.
;; * Adding type checking. (Stop that sniggering!)

;;; Code:

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

;;;
;;; Data
