Description
Feature
An option to have mypy output something for every file checked, regardless of whether any errors are detected.
Pitch
See this comment: https://github.com/python/mypy/pull/9672#pullrequestreview-521147219
This would make implementing the VSCode mypy extension a lot easier - right now errors aren't cleared - it would be great if there was an option to have mypy list the files it checked as part of a request.
See this PR/Description for a clear example of where this would be useful: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-mypy/pull/123#issuecomment-1683010037
Perhaps an output like:
file.py:29:5:39:64: info: file found
Open to any suggestions though

Research direction
Start by reading the linked mypy pull-request review and the vscode-mypy issue/PR description to understand the requested output contract. Trace mypy's existing diagnostic output and file-checking entry points; done means an opt-in mode reports every checked file, including files without errors, so editor errors can be cleared.
