Thanks for this response and especially the links. My initial gut
response was similar to Dscho's. Which is not surprising, because it
apparently was also my initial response to chainlint.sed back then. ;)
But I do think that chainlint.sed has proven itself to be both useful
and not much of a maintenance burden. My only real complaint was the
additional runtime in a few corner cases, and that is exactly what
you're addressing here.
I have nothing to add to the above ;-) Thanks all (including Dscho
who made us be more explicit in pros-and-cons).
