mlint across multiple functions in separate files

I use mlint a lot. I think it operates only on a single file. Suppose I have two functions foo.m which calls bar.m. I'd like it to check that the call to bar has the same number of inputs and outputs as are in its definition in bar.m. Complicating this, of course, are variable-argument functions, and the possibility of other programs named bar.m somewhere lower in the search path. Any way to accomplish this?

mlint does not currently support IPA (intra-procedural analysis).

Do you use M-Lint interactively in M-editor, or do you use mlint() as a function in M-script? The Tools>Show Dependency Reports in M-editor should help you. The function format is depfun(). You must already know that which bar -all will search all bar.m or bar.p in the path.
