I agree that it would be nice. Unfortunately, doing that is often at odds with the goals of keeping the test code simple and efficient. If you find small and clean changes that improve matters without inducing inordinate inefficiency even in projects with thousands of source files, please send a patch. Otherwise, I suggest you just write it off, since addressing more than a few syntax-check violations is usually a one-time occurrence.
