[File] Script to find issues in pattern files

[Jason Summers]

Thanks for your response. It's great to see some things being fixed or
cleaned up. To be clear, though, I'm not saying anything about whether I
think that should be done. There's obviously a nonzero risk of breaking
something, and opinions will probably differ about the extent to which
existing patterns should be changed.
