Hi Phil,
I have an article snippet from Philip Guenther, where he
explained the W in conjunction with c flag like this,
if I remember correct. When I added the Lint code to
the Emacs module, I used this as "redundant" criteria.
Q: Have I understood right? Can Wc: always be expressed with c:?

Let me also explain why the ' is so important. Notice, that the two
here are equivalent. The ' here is implicit.
:0 c: somefile :0 Wc: somefile
{ ... } { ... }
To quote the comment in source code, "try and protect the user from
his blissful ignorance". The parent will always wait for the
cloned child to exit when a lockfile is involved. The only question
is whether or not it should be logged. If you want failure of the
cloned child to be logged, then you should use the ' flag, ala:
:0 wc: somefile
{ ... }
