 Replying to [comment:2 andrea]:
 > Which automated complexity metrics do you have in mind?

 Frankly, I know very little about the field; I was hoping you might know
 some. The only one I could name off the top of my head is "Cyclomatic
 Complexity", which is pretty old.  On the plus side, there seem to be a
 lot of tools to calculate it.  Following the links from that article on
 Wikipedia turned up some other measures I hadn't heard of, some of which
 seem to be proprietary. A simpler measurements to look at might be loc-
 per-function; a more historically focused approach might be to look at the
 total number of git commits affecting a function (on the theory that
 volatility is problematic).

 Personally, I think if we pick a not-too-stupid measurement and have a
 look at all the functions where it's high, we'll do a good job of finding
 functions to simplify--just so long as we don't make a religion out of
 minimizing the metric for its own sake.
