"And if you're really serious about finding little gotcha's and non-conformances, run lint on your code and see what it whines about!"

A very good point!
The compiler will only detect actual errors in your use of the language; lint can help you find where you've written code which is legal, but may well not do quite what you wanted; the classic example is probably the use of '=' in an 'if' where '==' was intended!
