Just a note: --strict might not be ready yet. It reports some false
positives which need addressing (I have plans for this, but busy with
other things...), so expectation currently is:
1. No warnings from standard mode
2. Review and investigate warnings from 'strict' mode, but do not fix
them automatically without thinking

Best regards,
