LegalizeAdulthood added a comment.

Aaron, I think your comments are useful and I would be inclined to agree with 
you if I
was the original author of this check.  I treat the guidelines as just that: 
guidelines,
not rules.  In the context of clang-tidy I think you're correct that some 
guidelines
are easily turned into usable diagnostics and a subset of those can become 
enforceable
rules with suggested fixits.

In this case, the check only issues diagnostics, not fixits.  When the 
diagnostics result
in many false positives (as per the open bug), then I think it's reasonable to 
narrow the
scope of the check to omit the false positives.

The worst thing a "guideline" checker can do is to constantly nag you about 
false
positives.  This trains people to not run the checkers and/or ignore all their 
complaints.
