Creating a plugin rule for maximum line length

[rkshthrmsh]

First off, thank you for the svls, sv-parser, and svlint tools! My question is, how can I create a custom plugin for setting a maximum line length? I would like to pass the plugin to svlint through the svls language server and use the result asynchronously on a text editor.

The current plugin system supports to analyze syntax tree only.
So it is difficult to check max line length.

See the following issue. Max line length is planned.

dalance/svlint#237

@rkshthrmsh I've opened a PR on svlint which adds a check for maximum line length, though I've used the Vim name "textwidth": dalance/svlint#247
That PR adds a new type of rule which operates on lines of text (vs nodes of a syntax tree).

@rkshthrmsh There is now svlint v0.8.0 released which includes this functionality. Would you like to check it works for you and close this issue if you're satisfied?
