Description

Currently hlint emits two hints for something like

mk_meth_spec_prags :: ....
mk_meth_spec_prags = ...

both on the type and the method itself. I think it should only emit one hint.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the hlint rule for 'use camel case' and trace where duplicate hints are generated. Modify the rule to emit only one hint per function definition.
