I had this in mind too, but that is very heavy solution. I’d rather start with making hlint warnings?

foo :: Maybe Int -> Int
foo x = if isJust x then fromJust x else 0

bar :: Maybe Int -> Int
bar x = 1 + fromJust x

It warns about `foo` nonsense. It could propose to change `bar` part into `fromMaybe (error “I’know what I’m doing”) x`  ?
