Idea for microprojects. If you compile using gcc with -Wshadow, it
spots local variables that shadow another local or global variables.
These are usually bad because it makes it's easy to make mistakes when
changing the code.

_If_ you agree shadow vars are bad and should be exterminated,
'master' has 94 warnings spreading over 49 files. A student can pick
_one_ file and try to fix all warnings in that file. There are many
possible approaches (rename, combine vars, change scope, even
restructure/kill global vars..), plenty of room for discussion.
