Lint for Uppercase refs?

[clragon]

Since I started using this package, I find the paradigm of naming Refs with a wider scope than just the current widget with an uppercase name just like types to be compelling.

However, the dart linter of course does not enjoy this.
non_constant_identifier_names will yell at us for declaring:

final MyStuffRef = Ref<MyStuff>();

We could disable this lint app-wide, however that would erase actual violations.

I dont know much about how custom linting logic is added, but are there chances we could have some support from the package / packages / an optional lint rule that allows this style of Ref?

I also like this way of naming Refs', even for private ones (_SomeRef). It makes them look more like ordinary InheritedWidgets, which is great, since replacing them as simply as possible is the whole point of a Ref.

I believe creating a custom lint that replaces the non_constant_identifier_names and adds the exemption for Refs is possible, but I'm not sure if that would work with the same performance and stability as the original lint.

I'd love to try building such a lint eventually, but the time I'm able to allocate to this library is quite limited, and I won't begin working on this until finishing with another important feature request. So, please don't expect this lint to land any time soon. If you have enough will and spare time - I'll gladly mention your implementation of the lint in the README or even accept a PR that implements such a lint and publish it myself if it works well enough.
