I'm not sure if shouting the name of a rodent would make a good swear word.

Actually that comment tells the "Rough Auditing Tool for Security" to shut  
up about the line that allocates a static vector (which means at the time  
I added the comment, I'd previously checked its uses).

I wouldn't call it quality assurance, because that would be stretching it  
quite far.  RATS is, in my perception, a tool to assist code audits.
