I wonder if you should add warnings for any spelling, or at least

Done.

But 'is True' can be a useful test. The newbies we're trying to catch in verboten activities are using ==.

Done, 'is' and 'is not' do not generate a warning.

Also fixed the spelling mistake and made the warning harsher:

Comparisons with True are not necessary and may not work as expected
