Wow I had no idea so many tabs crept into my code.

When you report that a rule was broken I think you should list the rule
name (i.e, L002) and any transforms that could be used to fix the rule
afterwards.

This way I can quickly run with the right transform and/or look up help
on the rule. 

I look forward to hearing about more rules and transforms.  If people
start crafting more rules then this would be useful to me. 

Also I noticed that in this binary you can turn rules off or on
selectively, which is nice. I was worried about that when I saw the
other posts in this thread.
