I think AOSP has enough specific guidelines and requirements to warrant a 
separate module (especially, if Android folks have plans to contribute more 
than one check into it ;). As for this check, if the relevant requirements of 
CERT and Android are really identical, we could make an alias for the check in 
the CERT module (or vice versa). Another possibility that comes to mind is to 
create a new "posix" module specifically for things related to POSIX APIs (or 
"unix", if we want it to be slightly broader). WDYT?

I'm strongly against bloating "misc" module. It's more or less the last resort, 
a place for checks we have found no better place for. The proposed "bugprone" 
module is an attempt to address this by pulling out a large part of "misc" to a 
place with more definite name and purpose. However, in the case of this check 
we seem to have enough good (and more specific) alternatives to default to 
"misc" or even "bugprone".
