   However, if somebody writes such code, it is almost trivial to fix it
   with search and replace:

      "(= (length" -> "(length="
      "(< (length" -> "(length<"
      "(> (length" -> "(length>"
      "(/= (length" -> "(length/="
      "(<= (length" -> "(length<="
      "(>= (length" -> "(length>="

   (plus extra closing paren)

Users will assume that these length>= hacks will make their code
magically better, when they just hide a problematic form -- doing a
possibly complicated operation inside a predicate call.
