Yes.  I thought I had something like this already, but it was specifically
to look out for mentions of RFC2119.

As you may know, I'm due to begin a complete rewrite of idnits, from the
current implementation (idnits started as a 10-line AWK program to check
draft line lengths, in 2000 or 2001) to Python, this March.  I'd like to
defer this till then; adding code to the now close to 4000 lines of mixed
AWK and bash isn't always straightforward.


Best regards,
