This directory contains tox scripts and other files they need.
Generally, a tox script is either a checker (suitable for automated verify)
or a fixer (manually started, risky as uncommitted edits can be lost).
Each tox script is assumed to be run from tox,
when working directory is set to ${CSIT_DIR}.

Each checker script should:
+ Return nonzero exit code when it fails.
++ The tox might ignore the code when the check is not blocking.
+ Write less verbose output to stderr.
+ Write (to stderr) PASSED or FAILED to help with debugging.
+ Direct more verbose output to appropriately named .log file.
+ Only the output suitable for automated processing by an external caller
  should be written to stdout.
++ The level of "less verbose" depends on check and state of codebase.
+ TODO: Should we carefully document which files are
  whitelisted/blacklisted for a particulat check?

Each fixer script should:
+ Perform edits on current filesystem
+ Not assume git is clean (there may be uncommitted edits).
+ Use "git diff HEAD~" to get both comitted and uncomitted edits to analyze.
+ Output whatever it wants (possibly nothing).

TODO: Should checkers be named differently than fixers?
      E.g. both scripts and tox environments start with fix_?
