README: formally deprecate the tool
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
I had stopped actively working on it for a while for the reason
explained below. Let's make it official, to ensure that the tool is no
longer recommended for everyday use.

If the tool were to be continued, it would also need to be rewritten to
use x/tools/go/ssa. This is the first static analysis tool I ever wrote,
so it uses the much more rudimentary go/ast, limiting its capabilities.

**Deprecated**: A tool that suggests interfaces is prone to bad suggestions, so
its usefulness in real code is limited. This tool will remain available as a
proof of concept, and for others to examine and learn from.

A linter that suggests interface types. In other words, it warns about
the usage of types that are more specific than necessary.
