/// callbacks are also evaluated sooner.

///   def InnerPointerChecker : Checker<"InnerPointer">,

/// weak dependency, the dependent checker might still be registered. If the
/// weak dependency is satisfied, it'll be registered, and its checker
/// callbacks will be evaluated before the dependent checker. This can be used
/// to ensure that a more specific warning would be displayed in place of a
/// generic one, should multiple checkers detect the same bug. For example,
/// non-null parameter bugs are detected by NonNullParamChecker due to the
/// nonnull attribute, and StdLibraryFunctionsChecker as it models standard
/// functions, and the former is the more specific one. While freeing a
/// dangling pointer is a bug, if it is also a double free, we would like to
/// recognize it as such first and foremost. This works best for fatal error
