Yep, I sent it out this morning.

I added three so the failure message would reflect which of the
conventions appeared to have been violated.

I extended each check by two lines to catch things like:

error (EXIT_FAILURE, 0,
    _("Some very long"
      " error message."));

I had to add explicit exclusions for some false positives.  There will
likely be some case in the future where the correct adjustment is to
the sc_*** rule rather than to the code it complained about.
