Explanation of name? edit

It would be nice for the article to explain the name of the program, Pylint. That is, why "lint"? The explanation could state that this is the Python version of the old "lint" tool for analyzing C code. But that would still leave the question of "why lint". --Lance E Sloan (talk) 16:52, 3 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
