  Source code spell checker

  

When I was designing the programmatic API for my programmer's spell checker [0], I found that it was easy to get an exit code from something else in the stack and if they all used 1, there wasn't a way to differentiate. This is the reason I went with sysexists, so I would have a more nuanced codes to reduce the probability of two processes in the stack returning confusable errors.

  1 90 4.8 Python

  A massively parallelized gcov wrapper

I do something very similar, though I read I should avoid codes 1 and 2 so my error codes start at 3: https://github.com/RPGillespie6/fastcov/blob/master/fastcov....

That way automated CI pipelines (or whatever) can switch on the return code if needed rather than try to parse stderr
