A feature request.

A rule to require one to always use @ instead of this.

You seem to have many requests for new rules. To me they seem overly strict. Are you willing to start building and maintaining these new rules? I try to get bugs dealt with quickly, but I generally leave new rules to whoever is going to use them.

Yea, I will try to look into how to make them. But probably I will need some help initially. :-)

👍 I'll definitely help answer questions. You can probably also find many similar rules to get started. The "Building Custom Rules" on coffeelint.org has an overview of what's available. Core and 3rd party rules all have the same API access.

I thought I wrote some documentation somewhere with some guidelines on each linter type, but I can't find it. It obviously isn't helping anyone :(

OK, can you then go through tickets and tell me what would be good names for the rules? So what you think I should name them? If you have any preferences.

I'd probably name this one no_this.

I think it's conceptually very similar to the rule about preferring is over == but its named prefer_english_operator and I think doesn't totally fit.
