Because of that, I'm not even sure they belong much in `Options` at all -- an instance method on `LintCategory` which accepts `Options` would perhaps look simpler for clients?

Note: the same is true for the new methods `isEnabled`/`isDisabled` added in this PR -- they feel `Lint`-specific methods to me.
