Create a CLI

[kerrizor]

Often latent objects are scattered across multiple classes; I would argue that cross-class occurrences might be the strongest indicator of latent classes hiding in the code (and usually the most obvious)

Some brainstorm on what /could/ be in such a tool:

• run from the command line
• scan an application for models
  • just pick through app/models and lib/ ?
  • walk through object space ?
  • be passed an array of objects or files ?
• output
  • to STDOUT a nicely formatted report
  • an HTML report, perhaps with line numbers, code highlighting, etc?

This issue seems to mostly be about desired functionality that isn't really dependent on a command-line.

For the CLI, I like GLI?

Perhaps related, are you thinking of static or dynamic analysis? I imagine meta-programming might hide some latent object, and am not sure how comparatively easy it would be to pull that from an AST, versus evaluated code.
