defmodule Credence.Pattern.NoGuardEqualityForPatternMatch do
@moduledoc """
Readability rule: Detects guard clauses that compare a parameter to a
literal value with `==` when pattern matching in the function head would
be clearer and more idiomatic.
This only flags simple `var == literal` comparisons where `var` is one of
the function's parameters and `literal` is an integer, atom, or string.
