Description
Hello,
for the source (note the double space in (+ 1))
f1 i _ = fmap (+ 1) i
hlint outputs (note the single space)
Found:
fmap (+ 1) i
Why not:
(+ 1) <$> i
Could hlint output the Found: part as the original string, regardless of formatting and white spaces?
It would simplify find-and-replace.

Research direction
Start by locating the code that formats HLint's Found: suggestion output, using the example's whitespace difference as the starting case. Check how the source expression is represented before formatting. Done means the Found: text preserves the original spacing and formatting so it can be used for find-and-replace.
