Introduce static analysis about flynt

I suspect Flint is intended for WordPress theme developers who are not really into OOP - although they are really professionals as they earn money by manufacturing themes.

Hi @szepeviktor,

thanks for bringing this up.

At the moment we are distinguishing most PHP functionality in to two types. One type is PSR-4 auto-loadable and the other always require. The ./lib folder is auto-loaded with PSR-4. Thus this should not have any side-effects. The './inc' folder is basically just an extension of your regular functions.php. Instead of slamming everything in there, we split things up into logically separated files.

Adding php-stan to flynt would be nice, but in a WordPress environment where you have concepts that go against modern PHP ways, you have to do a lot of extra work to reliably use it.

Also, we want to make the barrier of entrance as low as possible. A WordPress developer should not need to learn a new style of coding, just to be able to use our component based approach and enjoy its benefits.
