Override global rules from in-source attributes?

[Fishrock123]

Similar to what was mentioned in #3 (comment), but a little different. Perhaps that issue exists because this is just impossible.

I'd like to be able to use this tool, but with a blanket set of fairly "aggressive" rules across an entire organization.

Sometimes, like in the case of clippy::print_stdout this is appropriate for most projects (encourage folks to use the log crate), but I may want to disable it fro a CLI tool. Ideally I'd like to not have to adjust the project or workspace level Cranky.toml (since it may be automated). So, i'm hoping there would be a way to set an override from an in-code attribute, since that seems the most reasonable place to have such a thing...

Looks what I am experience is likely a clippy bug for specific rules: rust-lang/rust-clippy#6610

If Cranky.toml had a way to say "load rules from this other toml file first", would that be useful?

[Fishrock123]

Yes, but I'd rather do this finer grained stuff in the source code - sometimes we may not have an extra directory for a second file to live in.

cargo-cranky is a very thin wrapper around cargo-clippy, so it's pretty limited in what it can do. If it's not possible on the clippy commandline, then I don't think it's possible to fix from here.
