OmitNeedlessWords [rule] v0.1.0

Every word in a name should carry information at the call site. Words that merely repeat type information already present in the signature are noise: removeElement(_ element: Element) is remove(_ element: Element). Words restating the receiver are noise: string.appendString(...) is string.append(...). Words restating the return type are noise: tableView.numberOfSectionsInTableView is tableView.numberOfSections.

Checks

• Read each word of the API name and ask: does removing this word make the call site less clear? If no, remove it.
• Method names do not repeat the type of an argument that already has its type spelled out (add(observer:), not addObserver(observer:)).
• Method names do not repeat the receiver type (Color.darker(), not Color.colorByMakingDarker()).
• Property names do not repeat the type (isFavorite: Bool, not favoriteFlag: Bool; name: String, not nameString: String).
