avoid-similar-names

added in: 1.1.0
style
⚙️

Checks for names within the scope that are very similar and thus confusing.

Use show-similarity configuration (default is false), if you want similarity to be displayed in the issue message.

Use similarity-threshold configuration (default is 0.8), if you want to tune the similarity comparison.

Use ignored-names configuration, if you want to ignore specific names.
