Currently, the lint-test format is roughly as follows:
${text} ~~~~~~~~~~ ${severity}:${line}:${char} ... ~~~~~~~~~~ ${transformed_text} ~~~~~~~~~~ { "hook": "optional bool", "config": "optional map<string, wild>", "path": "optional string" }
This file format is inflexible and does not allow us to make assertions regarding the code or name of the linter messages (of class ArcanistLintMessage) that are raised. Specifically, the ${severity}:${line}:${char} format is hardcoded in ArcanistLinterTestCase. I think that this format should be generalised, to allow the code and name to be specified as well.
