In my view, it would certainly be possible through enormous efforts to further 
granularize this checker (or these large ones in general), so that the modeling 
and reporting portions would could be cleanly separated into their own checker 
objects. That certianly was my belief a couple years back -- I sank months and 
months into `MallocChecker`, yet I'm still not even close to that goal.

So, with the modeling and the reporting being the same entity, we can't express 
that some more specific checkers should run before it. `StreamChecker` can 
construct more specific messages thatn `StdLibraryFunctions` for a null stream 
object, but only if it runs ahead of it. That implies a both a weak and a 
strong dependency on what is essentially the same checker. As things stand, not 
sure how we could have avoided this if we want these checkers to finally leave 
the alpha state.

Could you post the results for it as you have them please?
