Also, the fix, though it retains the behavior, has a high chance to be incorrect. Can you share the results of running this check on LLVM? At least, how many problems it found and how many times the suggested fix was correct.

Do you have any thought about the name for such a module? I belive that misc is overloaded.

So for this we are looking for something that is probably not a bug, but it makes code a little bit inaccurate
Maybe something like:

- accuracy,
- correctness,
- certainity,
- safety,
