Vale: A syntax-aware linter for prose

This looks really cool, and I'd hope that every professional writer uses some system like this.

What I'd also really like to see is something like a "unit test" framework for prose. For example, if you are maintaining a website, or a document that has to be regularly updated, it would be nice if you could insert tags which mark assumptions that you think may change with time.

The framework could even detect these assumptions automatically, by looking for phrases like "at the time of writing" and "expected in the third quarter of next year". But rather than flagging these up every time (which is a recipe for alarm fatigue), you could set a policy for how often each statement needs to be reviewed (and record who reviewed it last, and when).

I'm sure this is all possible with some custom programming or a bureaucratic manual process, but if the tooling could reduce the effort required, making this as simple as fixing a spelling error, it would have a greater chance of being widely used.
