Description
Let's integrate a tool such as:
* https://include-what-you-use.org
* http://clang.llvm.org/extra/include-fixer.html
* https://github.com/google/styleguide/tree/gh-pages/cpplint
to catch missing includes that might not appear until Travis tries to build your code for a different OS, see https://travis-ci.org/mapbox/node-cpp-skel/builds/394326432 for example and notice how this builds for macOS but not Linux (this was due to missing `#include `).
