%% Purpose : Do necessary checking of Core Erlang code.
%% Check Core module for errors. Seeing this module is used in the
%% compiler after optimisations we do more checking than would be
%% necessary after just parsing. Don't check all constructs.
%%
%% We check the following:
%%
%% All referred functions, called and exported, are defined.
%% Format of export list.
%% Format of attributes
%% Used variables are defined.
%% Variables in let and funs.
%% Patterns case clauses.
%% Values only as multiple values/variables/patterns.
%% Return same number of values as requested
%% Correct number of arguments
%% Consistency of values/variables
%% Consistency of function return values/calls.
%%
%% We keep the names defined variables and functions in a ordered list
%% of variable names and function name/arity pairs.
