Remember when writers could do spell-checking and grammar-checking by "running a program" on their text files?<p>Here we have numbers-checking working the same way.<p>I bet you this sort of feature gets built in to word processors eventually, and puts wavy red lines under the results it flags.<p>We've had this sort of real-time "syntax" checking in software engineering for half a generation. It seems wise for other disciplines to consider adopting it too.<p>It's obviously got to be discretionary, just like spell-check is discretionary in browsers.<p>We will get a new genre of humor, thought "statcheck fail."
