Rather, we may hope that *certain features* of lint will migrate into the
code-generating compiler.  But there are still uses for lint.  For example,
the exit() example that started this discussion is still within the
jurisdiction of lint, since ANSI C doesn't distinguish void-valued functions
from non-returning functions.
