Use Sphinx config to discover directives #1
Description
An idea of @jean-abou-samra, see: sphinx-doc/sphinx#10143 (comment)
I like the idea: it should lead to less false positives, which is very important. It could even help spot typos in directive names!
As long as it's still fast to check a single file, so it can be used as a linter in an editor, I don't want rstlint to become slower than make suspicious from cpython, on my machine, for a full cpython/Doc/ check:

Not sure if I'll have the time soon, but I'm basically interested in working on this.

I wonder that if this is being done, than the speed promise goes out the window. In that case it would be good to offer some other slower but less error-prone interfaces, mainly a sphinx-builder that would pick up the exact sources being used.
