## What went wrong
`tombi_lint` is used as a formatter. Why is this? I think this is completely wrong. The output are warning messages which are simply written to the buffer. This makes no sense.
`tombi_format` does not work properly. When saving the buffer ist not updated. The result is only written to the file. Moreover in case of an error, the error message is written to the buffer.
