... which can be obviously shut down if you are not a newbie and know what
you are doing. I want PyChecker/PyLine to find bugs in my code and help me
enforce *my* personal coding standard. I don't want them to tell me what it
is "generically better" to do. The fact that there is a warning for builtin
shadowing, to be used by people which such a coding standard, doesn't mean
that everybody must agree with it.
