#993

Description

Try to detect "to verb" where the verb is inflected.

There are many false positives so it errs on the side of not flagging some errors rather than flagging non-errors.

Due to Harper currently always treating the result of the S affix as a plural noun even when it's actually a 3rd person singular present verb (walks, eats, breathes, etc) the linter doesn't actually use the verb iterator it adds and uses the preposition iterator instead.

This can be redone when the affix system is improved to set different properties on word/S when word is a noun vs a verb (or both).

How Has This Been Tested?

Added unit tests for positive and negative cases.

Would you mind refactoring this to take a generic dictionary as an argument and passing it from the LintGroup constructor? There are other places in the code where we directly consume FstDictionary::curated from a linter, but it's a pattern I'd like to avoid moving forward.

Ah OK I'll look into that. So far I mostly see what other code does and copy the approaches I find.

You'll need to replace the macro call with something similar to how the SpellCheck rule is added.

I also identified some limitations so added notes, TODOs, and more tests.
I've left some debugging aids commented out that will be useful when the affix system is improved or if dictionary annotations get changed.

Let me know if I understood you correctly when implementing the changes you wanted.

While doing this I noticed some limitations in my linter and in the affix system as it's currently implemented, so I've added more tests that work now plus other tests that will work once those limitations are removed.
