I still object to this.  Unless there is actually a different intended
purpose for the two tools, having warlock and lock_lint diverge further
will just create confusion and limit our return on investment (e.g., since
customers of lock_lint will not benefit from warlock enhancements).

If warlock is considered the better codebase to evolve, then please evolve
it to subsume lock_lint (which could then be EOL'd with a reasonable
transition plan to warlock) -- but please don't leave lock_lint adrift.

I agree with you. If we want to improve warlock, the first thing would be
to make it can do what lock_lint is able to.  And I don't think this would
be very difficult. All I know is that lock_lint changed warlock syntax a
little. Maybe there are other changes I don't know. It's only my personal
idea. I think Alexander would provide a better answer since I am not the
developer of either tool.
