// Package singlechecker defines the main function for an analysis
// driver with only a single analysis.
// This package makes it easy for a provider of an analysis package to
// also provide a standalone tool that runs just that analysis.
//
// For example, if example.org/findbadness is an analysis package,
// all that is needed to define a standalone tool is a file,
// example.org/findbadness/cmd/findbadness/main.go, containing:
//
//      // The findbadness command runs an analysis.
// 	package main
//
// 	import (
// 		"example.org/findbadness"
// 		"golang.org/x/tools/go/analysis/singlechecker"
// 	)
//
// 	func main() { singlechecker.Main(findbadness.Analyzer) }
//
