I probably could.  Recently, I looked at the tool in 2.2.
But I didn't know about the compiler when I started.

I looked at pylint (from 1999) and the ASTs that were generated
from parser, etc.  But it was going to require too much work
at the time.  And I was just trying to figure out if static
analysis was even possible.

I've considered the benefits/drawbacks of converting checker 
to use ASTs.  The drawback is how much time it will take to convert, 
so I haven't done anything....yet.
