defmodule Credo.Check.Warning.NameRedeclarationByAssignment do

  @moduledoc """

  The names of local variables should not be the same as names of functions

  or macros in the same module or in `Kernel`.



    Example:



        def handle_something do

          time = 42

          IO.puts time  # not clear if we are talking about time/0 or time

        end



        def time do

          TimeHelper.now

        end



  This might not seem like a big deal, especially for small functions.

  But there is no downside to avoiding it, especially in the case of functions

  with arity `/0` and Kernel functions.



  True story: You might pattern match on a parameter geniusly called `node`.

  Then you remove that match for some reason and rename the parameter to `_node`

  because it is no longer used.

  Later you reintroduce the pattern match on `node` but forget to also rename

  `_node` and suddenly the match is actually against `Kernel.node/0` and has the

  weirdest side effects.



  This happens. I mean, to a friend of mine, it did. Who ... later told me.
