This is a partial response to #503.
The idea is that
extra-data-validate
is made up of a series of named checks, and you can pass e.g.--skip control_timestamps_order
to skip the check with that name. So far only the per-file checks can be controlled like this, but if we like the structure, we could add the per-directory checks (so far only one, checking the JSON cache).Specifically, the
@file_check
decorator makes a function into a named check. The function name is reused as the check name (so we'll need to remember not to rename these functions too readily).
