This appears (in my naivety about the codebase) to be what is needed to support LSP's "Hint" severity so plugins like vim9-lsp and coc.nvim which optionally feed into ALE's diagnostic system can display the full breadth of severity types in the language server protocol. For example, rust-analyzer uses hints extensively in "two-part" diagnostics (e.g. "... due to this" pointing to a related line). I haven't added tests yet and the documentation could be more complete, thus this is in draft mode: @w0rp Is this something you're interested in supporting? I think it makes a lot of sense; I'm content to complete this if so.
Closes #4899.
