When programming, you may struggle to find coherent meaningful names and types, given conflicting alternatives, metaphors and styles suggested by many previous APIs in many languages or by scientific literature. Or you may just pick the first thing that comes to mind.
Google developed tools that fit in its monorepo: beyond automatic reformatting to style standards and warning for missing documentation, user-defined rules not just for linting, but also for automated refactoring suggestions that reviewers could mandate with a click.

ASDF recently acquired macros to issue version-based style-warnings, warnings then errors when using deprecated functions. People can't complain anymore they aren't warned when bad interfaces are being deprecated. Instead, they complain in advance about the deprecation.

An improvement would be the macro suggesting a valid replacement form, instead of just referring the user to the documentation.
