Support for specific warning ignores per-file

It seems that flake8 only supports ignoring warnings with # flake8: noqa for the entire file or # noqa for a specific line. This is too granular - I would like to ignore a specific error type per file or line. For example, pylint supports this typo of ignore with # pylint: disable=X0123. Would love to see this same functionality in flake8.

I think you mean it isn't granular enough. That said, this is a request that's been made many times and frankly we've regretted for too long allowing usage of # noqa. We're not going to make it more granular. It isn't worth the complexity and # noqa is now almost entirely handled by pep8 which also won't accept this feature request.
