Support for --check and report as problem if a file needs formatting

[ademoverflow]

Hello all !
First of all thank you for this extension, the tool is cool !

I would like to know if it is possible to see if an open .py file has to be formatted with black, in the "Problems" tab on vscode ? Like isort, pylint etc do ?

Simple question, I search for this response and was not able to find a good answer, so I decided to post here.

Thanks !

We don't support --check for black. This would be a feature request.

Upvoted; this would be really useful and aligns with other tools. If this feature is not supported it'd be great to make this clear in the usage instructions of the extension please---I spent ages looking for it.

If you're wondering what the use case is, consider that you're adding or modifying code to an existing codebase and want to ensure new code is formatted without re-formatting an entire file. Thanks.
