Merge with statix

[hab25]

This will likely help increase the discoverability and lower the barrier to entry of using both tools.

No serious objection but I would like to point out that the tools perform two very different things:

• statix looks for patterns in a very narrow scope
• deadnix performs deep scope usage analysis for every identifier

[hab25]

I don't understand that difference well enough, but it seems to me like something that is primarily relevant for maintainers but not so much to an end-user.

Even end-users care about the UNIX Philosophy™:

Make each program do one thing well. To do a new job, build afresh rather than complicate old programs by adding new "features".

[hab25]

Good point. I also approve of the UNIX philosophy, and in accordance with it I think a new metalinter project is better than merging. I say "new" only because I don't know of any existing ones.

Feel free to close this issue if you want.
