Description

New Issue Checklist
Feature or Enhancement Proposal

number_separator should be able to be configured to ignore/exclude certain types / typealiases of numbers like:

number_separator:
  ignore: [pid_t]

So any literal used for a pid_t is ignored by this rule.

Research direction

Start by locating the number_separator rule, its configuration, and its existing tests. Trace how numeric literals are checked and how the requested ignore list could identify types such as pid_t. Done means the YAML option works and tests demonstrate that ignored numeric types are exempt while other literals remain checked.
