>>all of /src has been made with -T, as forsyth mentioned, it found
>>a few small problems.

it found a few big ones in some things not on sources, which in a sense
helped to justify it even for statically-linked programs.
to be fair to C, they all required some violation of the `.h' declaration
discipline, but they happened.

on the other hand, some other -T diagnostics turn up (even with things
in /src) when a .h changes but this or that .$O or .a has not been
recompiled, to discover a ulong -> uvlong change for instance.

of course, that's a violation of mkfile discipline, but
it's comforting to know that such oversights
are detected mechanically at ?l time.
