OK, I am sorry for my negative attitude. I just have had some  
negative experiences where the tool made suggestions, I implemented  
them and afterwards the tool made complains about another case. In  
fact it was not possible to fulfil both cases at all. But it was very  
difficult to detect these cases.

I would be very interested in functions that can be improved with  
respect to non-strictness as test cases for my work.
