I completely agree.   I think there is little reason to be considering
a core patch.  I haven't seen any convincing evidence (or any evidence
at all) that being able to fling checkers at a large number of
functions written in different procedural languages is an important
use case for anyone.  I think the vast majority of checking will get
done one function at a time; and therefore we are gilding the lily.
