I think this should go in now to avoid the problem we were actually
seeing.

I think Simo's tool should go in too so that we can play with it.  I've
already used it to clean up some of my commits.  Those who have enough
courage can add it to their commit hook (possibly ignoring the result
and using it to provide warnings).  Eventually we can even look at
adding it to tests.

However, I think we need something simple now, while we work on the
long term solution and long term approach.

peace & happiness,
