Hey, let's quit being Anonymous Monk when calling one another “incompetent.” I happen to think that this is a damm good idea ... how do we implement it?
To my way of thinking, the computer should be (at least able to be) doing everything that it possibly can to detect errors, as automatically as it can. Especially the subtle, nasty, disruptive ones like these. Any sort of tool, with a decorator as described, that would even make a serious dent in this particular issue would be extremely valuable. To me, it doesn’t matter that an eagle-eye or what have you could find it without assistance: that’s what computers are for. Let the hacking begin.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
