Being able to apply the linter to a diff, instead of a whole file would be an
awesome feature (maybe cpplint already supports this)?  I still think a linter
which only knows how to lint against whole files would still be useful though.

We need to get rid of the false positives.  False positives are a show-stopper
in my mind.

We need a straightforward path from our current source, to one which passes the
linter 100%.  Whether that's by using tricks like a linter which knows how to
restrict its errors to just a diff, or an automated script which can fix up the
style of existing code (that we could run across sets of files at a time), I
don't think it matters too much.

Thanks so much for taking a look at this Albert!
