I had a bunch of similar greps that I've recently been half-assedly
putting together into a single script too.

I don't know if anyone cares about them anymore, since I think gcc
grew some smarts in the area recently, but there are a lot of lines of
code matching "static int.*= *0;" and equivalents in the driver tree.
I'd really like to see the C compiler being enhanced to detect
"stupid casts", i.e. those, which when removed, do not change (a) the outcome
(b) the compiler warnings/error output.
If you made it issue warnings for that, then it's going to be ever more
painful to write generic macros.
