Ability to specify configuration at the top of a file

[mikesherov]

e.g.

/* jscs: {maximumLineLength: 80, requireSpacesAfterLineComment: true} */
... rest of file

Important to note that this only allows configuration at the top of a file and applies to the whole file. There are currently no plans to allow inline re-configuration of rules, only inline ignoring of current rules as per #486 and #20

What is the use-case?

[mikesherov]

The use case is parity with every other linter in the ecosystem and portability of code into other codebases. Not everyone uses build tools like Grunt that bake in per file config.

worth to mention that jshint also support such kind of file-wide configuration to allow exclude some policy for legacy code http://www.jshint.com/docs/options/#freeze

Folks, I now have a working implementation that's ready for review. #513

[mikesherov]

Closing this. Please read the last comment on #513 . Once inline disable / re-enable is live for a bit, we'll see if this is still necessary.
