Integration Information

The `gometalinter` linter is disabled by default. ALE enables `gofmt`,
`golint` and `go vet` by default. It also supports `staticcheck`, `go
build` and `gosimple`.

To enable `gometalinter`, update |g:ale_linters| as appropriate:
>
  " Enable all of the linters you want for Go.
  let g:ale_linters = {'go': ['gometalinter', 'gofmt']}
<
A possible configuration is to enable `gometalinter` and `gofmt` but paired
with the `--fast` option, set by |g:ale_go_metalinter_options|. This gets you
the benefit of running a number of linters, more than ALE would by default,
while ensuring it doesn't run any linters known to be slow or resource
intensive.

  Type: |String|
  Default: `'gometalinter'`

  The executable that will be run for gometalinter.


g:ale_go_gometalinter_options                   *g:ale_go_gometalinter_options*
                                                *b:ale_go_gometalinter_options*
  Type: |String|
  Default: `''`

  This variable can be changed to alter the command-line arguments to the
  gometalinter invocation.

  Since `gometalinter` runs a number of linters that can consume a lot of
  resources it's recommended to set this option to a value of `--fast` if you
  use `gometalinter` as one of the linters in |g:ale_linters|. This disables a
  number of linters known to be slow or consume a lot of resources.
