There is something like a humble attempt of an AppleScript post-processor
in Smile (Scripter's Palette/Check and Debug/Report Scripting Anomalies). I
prefer to name it 'post' since it only works after compilation. Except in
intricate cases, it is supposed to warn the user about handlers and
variables which are not defined and other such things.

"Report Scripting Anomalies" was designed as a help for scripters, based on
a study of the most time-expensive programming errors.

Best regards,
Emmanuel
