Is it possible to overwrite a built in rule?

[millotpg]

I would like to customize the LineTooLong rule by overwriting it in a site_rules directory that is local to the project.

I have a custom LineTooLong rule but it doesn't load unless the class name is different from the built-in one. I've tried first ignoring the built-in LineTooLong rule with the -i flag and then loading the custom rule with the -R flag. However, rflint then just ignores both rules.

Overall, I'm trying to implement a way to ignore linting a rule on a line that ends with:

#rflint_ignore rule_name

Is there any way I can add this functionality?

I too need this feature similar to how pylint allows for in file enabling and disabling of rules...

In my case, I have documentation and URLs which are long. This cannot be avoided, so the only option is to exclude that specific line from the rule it offends.
