The purpose of tracking whether an exception is used is so that we can tell whether it is overbroad. This means that an _underbroad_ exception is still a used one. Fixes bug 31338.
Practracker is a simple python tool that keeps track of places where our code is ugly, and tries to warn us about new ones or ones that get worse. Right now, practracker looks for the following kinds of best-practices violations: .c files greater than 3000 lines long .h files greater than 500 lines long .c files with more than 50 includes .h files with more than 15 includes All files that include a local header not listed in a .may_include file in the same directory, when that .may_include file has an "!advisory" marker. The list of current violations is tracked in exceptions.txt; slight deviations of the current exceptions cause warnings, whereas large ones cause practracker to fail. For usage information, run "practracker.py --help".
