Library authors don’t really provide custom analyzers. heck, the best we can hope for are some regex based linting rules, anything that involves local data flow analysis is very rare, and anything inter procedural is non-existent. Program analysis is a dark hole, you are better off just making stronger type systems, but then type inference starts to bite you if you want to support it (and you will given how annoying type annotations are to write, unless you go with something simple like a purely structural type system so you can use Hindley Milner).
