--- | The function produces a tuple containg 'ParseFlags' (for 'parseModuleEx'),
---   and 'Classify' and 'Hint' for 'applyHints'.
---   It approximates the normal HLint configuration steps, roughly:
---
--- 1. Use 'findSettings' with 'readSettingsFile' to find and load the HLint settings files.
---
--- 1. Use 'parseFlagsAddFixities' and 'resolveHints' to transform the outputs of 'findSettings'.
---
---   If you want to do anything custom (e.g. using a different data directory, storing intermediate outputs,
---   loading hints from a database) you are expected to copy and paste this function, then change it to your needs.
