Description

With -o, I can restrict output to particular hints. I would like an analogous argument—maybe --severity —that restricts to a particular severity.

hlint --severity warning --> only shows errors and warnings (not suggestions)

Research direction

Start by locating the Haskell CLI handling for -o and the existing hint-severity representation. Add the analogous --severity option so hlint --severity warning excludes suggestions while retaining warnings and errors, then run the CLI's existing filtering checks or representative command-line examples.
