retextretext plugin to check for weak and mitigating wording.

Install

This package is ESM only: Node 12+ is needed to use it and it must be imported instead of required.
npm install retext-intensify

## Use

Say we have the following file, `example.txt`:

```txt
Some people say there are quite some
problems, apparently.

…and our script, example.js, looks as follows:

import {readSync} from 'to-vfile'
import {reporter} from 'vfile-reporter'
import {retext} from 'retext'
import retextIntensify from 'retext-intensify'

const file = readSync('example.txt')

retext()
  .use(retextIntensify)
  .process(file)
  .then((file) => {
    console.error(reporter(file))
  })

Yields:

example.txt

  1:13-1:16  warning  Don’t use `say`, it lessens impact              hedge   retext-intensify
