-`gometalinter` is a `lint_file` linter, which only lints files that are
-written to disk. This differs from the default behavior of linting the buffer.

-  Since `gometalinter` runs a number of linters that can consume a lot of
-  resources it's recommended to set this option to a value of `--fast` if you
-  use `gometalinter` as one of the linters in |g:ale_linters|. This disables a
-  number of linters known to be slow or consume a lot of resources.
