We have lots of boilerplate and code duplication in the analyzer's checkers, and also common mistakes in typical tasks - in fact there are just too many typical tasks that take experience to identify and implement properly, that need to be re-implemented in every checker.

I agree with this 100%. I think there are a lot of opportunities for higher-level checker APIs that would make it possible to “make the easy things easy”.
