A string for the statusline

[KabbAmine]

A function returning a string usable by the statusline will be very useful (like validator or syntastic does). Should we wait for a stable API before implementing it?

The plugin does now echo the error when you highlight a line. Do you want a function which returns the whole string for that?

[KabbAmine]

I'm thinking about a function returning the number of issues, that the user can integrate into the statusline.
e.g. ale#getStatusLine() will return something like '5 errors' or maybe just '5'.

Syntastic provides even a way to customize the output:

Sounds interesting. I'll look into it at some point.

This is so close to completion, I'll get this included in 1.0, I think. It shouldn't delay anything.
