 * `make_linter_from_xpath()` errors up front when `lint_message` is missing (instead of delaying this error until the linter is used, #2541, @MichaelChirico).
 * `paste_linter()` is extended to recommend using `paste()` instead of `paste0()` for simply aggregating a character vector with `collapse=`, i.e., when `sep=` is irrelevant (#1108, @MichaelChirico).
 * `expect_no_lint()` was added as new function to cover the typical use case of expecting no lint message, akin to the recent {testthat} functions like `expect_no_warning()` (#2580, @F-Noelle).
+* `lint()` and friends emit a message if no lints are found (#2643, @IndrajeetPatil).
