Yes, thus the logical consequence is that tickets are opened with the major editors,
to include that in the validators, and remind the users to fix the underlying issue.
When the object is edited without removing the fixme/FIXME, the validator could lowercase it while
saving the object anyway.
This process was done with other tags that were found unnecessary, such as _created_by_ on objects,
and very successful without bloating the history.
