Description

On the one hand, doing this frees up haskell-flake from having to maintain this code/API. On the other hand, HLS is central to Haskell development so it might be worth providing it ourselves so users don't have to use treefmt for it.

Research direction

Start by reading the hlsCheck implementation and the referenced treefmt-nix pull request comment. Compare keeping hlsCheck in haskell-flake with upstreaming it to treefmt, including the user-facing API implications. Done means the project has a decided direction and the corresponding ownership and implementation work is complete.
