Show the meaning of the error at point in the minibuffer #32

Hi!

When I use this package, sometimes I don't understand why some word is highlighted. I need to review the link to the README (https://matt.might.net/articles/shell-scripts-for-passive-voice-weasel-words-duplicates/) to understand the reason.

I would be great if the package throws some explanation in the minibuffer about the error at point.

Thanks.

@maikol-solis Thanks for the suggestion! The implementation of this feature (v2.2.0) leverages the help-echo text property. This means that by default is shows as a tooltip on graphical displays.
