Description

This would compare the current settings against the settings that --init --init-level=N would generate, and print any settings that could be made more strict

  • Leave out settings that aren't related to strictness
  • Add a way to skip warning about certain settings or plugins (e.g. stricter_settings_blacklist: SettingName|Plugin => reason)
  • Also suggest plugins

Research direction

Start with \Phan\Config\Initializer and inspect how --init --init-level=N generates settings. Define the comparison between current and generated settings, filtering out non-strictness options. Done means the tool reports stricter settings and plugins, while honoring a stricter_settings_blacklist entry with reasons.
