If we are talking about checking (a separate thing, in my opinion), then we
should be talking about linting :) Checking for formatting is probably less
useful than something more concrete. Having run jshint over some of the code,
I was horrified at the output it produced.
That said, checking formatting in general is a massive waste of time. If we
had an automated tool, then I could notice a problem, then say "did you run
{clang-format,astyle,js-beautify}", but generally not worry about formatting.

I think we should increase the checking we do, and make it a habit to run
the checks before try-servering or putting a patch up for review. It's
really not a good investment of anyone's time to have to deal with trailing
whitespace during a review.
