Hm.  `Cannot be checked'?

	% lint -h tt.c
	tt.c:
	tt.c(5): warning: possible format/argument count mismatch
	tt.c(6): warning: printf: (int) format, (long) arg (arg 2)
	tt.c(6): warning: x may be used before set
	printf returns value which is always ignored
	%

(Somehow this reminds me of arguments about `volatile' detection :-) )
