 We talked about a few possible improvements to practracker in our May
 retrospective a couple of weeks back.  Here are the suggestions we came up
 with.

 1. Practracker should have tolerances in its exceptions.  For example, if
 an exception allows a function to be 150 lines long, then we should not
 cause an error until the function is (say) 155 lines long.  If the
 function is 151-154 lines long, that should just be a warning.

 These tolerances could be percentage-based, or just flat numbers.

 There should be an option that makes all warnings fatal.

 2. There should be an option to list unused exceptions, and exceptions
 that are larger than they need to be.
