Though a single checker may check multiple things, and only get some of
them "wrong"; seems it would be worth having granularity for individual
checks.

No, it seems odd to me to restrict this to particular categories of
checks. I would say any specific lint check might have cases where it is
not practical to fix the lint check, yet is not appropriate for a
particular package.
