The only thing I would suggest is the tool be used to serve us, not vice-versa.

I worked at one client where we were slaves to the "ENVY/QA" tool; they would
not allow one single complaint out of that tool, and quality suffered as a
result..

> - sends of #halt
> - references to Transcript
> - sends of unimplemented messages

BTW, aren't these caught by Lint?
