There exists in the CMU Artificial Intelligence Repository the
beginnings of a lint like tool for lisp.

http://www-cgi.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/ai-repository/ai/lang/lisp/code/tools/lint/0.html

lint is a tool intended to find common errors in source code, and be
somewhat more helpful (or strict, as the case may be) than compilers
themselves are.  I've often thought it would be useful to have a tool
that could read source code and spot common implementation mistakes
made by new programmers - it might save some wear on the comp.lang.lisp
experts.  Of course, it would need those experts to program it, but
once done... :-)

Just a thought.

Cheers,
CY
