I would consider that more like a plugin for whichever IDE you are using
--or a command line report processor. An example would be using a plugin for
Eclipse CDT --now that you mention it--, that runs vera, processes the
output and adds suggestions that are integrated in the IDE project. For us
using plain editors and command line tools, someone (not necessarily Vera++
makers) could come up with a wrapper that suggests solutions. Internalizing
those suggestions into the tool seems unneeded and cumbersome.

I agree on this with some previous post: I don't think that is a good
option, mainly for two reasons. First it implies adding comments in the code
to control some external tool, second if you start that path, you'll end up
with a comment to control how vi indents, emacs options, vera++ options,
another tools options...
