I like the "line length" rule coming from MD013, but I want to enforce shorter length for headings only. For example: headings should not be more than 30 characters.

https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/blob/master/doc/Rules.md#md013---line-length

I can't seem to figure out how to set this configuration. If this does not exist at the moment, do you think it can be enhanced to allow this configuration? I don't want to enforce this rule on paragraphs as most users would be using a modern IDE which can wrap lines very easily. Enforcing this rule on paragraph could be challenging too (from an adoption perspective).
