I'm not sure if shouting the name of a rodent would make a good swear word.
Actually that comment tells the "Rough Auditing Tool for Security" to shut
up about the line that allocates a static vector (which means at the time
I added the comment, I'd previously checked its uses).
I wouldn't call it quality assurance, because that would be stretching it
quite far. RATS is, in my perception, a tool to assist code audits.
