It is open source, you could also implement it yourself. :)  Not sure they would accept it, as their policy seems to require warnings that have low false positive rates.

Relatedly, I think a lack of warning on this is even worse:

BOOL x = ...
if (x == YES)
   ...

Since Obj-C BOOL annoying has 256 different values, comparing against 1 is dangerous.  (At least it's easy to search "== YES" periodically.)

Cheers,
