Well, I'm confident the first 90% is practical just by running some regexps 
against a pg_dumped schema. It doesn't need to guarantee there's a problem, 
just say "here's something you want to check". And there are things you could 
probably never check convincingly (e.g. the queries in an application). It's 
that final 10% that makes me uncertain.

Maybe it'd be enough to just list "tests I couldn't perform", at first anyway.
