Thanks.

No I haven't considered using dub. Does dub allow the processing 
of a single file from the project without generating code? Note 
that you don't want to build the whole project upon every 
activation of the linter, because of speed but also because of 
errors that do not apply to the file in the current view.

I don't see why not?

If you have a case where it isn't sufficient, I am interested to 
see how it can be improved. You can experiment with it as 
explained here:
