Description

2015-11-26_20-20-19

We need rule sets for minimum safety, basic design, recommended design, etc. When you start bringing in rules like mandating named parameters or placement of curly braces, you are way past the point where you should have started collecting them into sets.

Research direction

Start by locating how PSScriptAnalyzer currently registers and groups rules; the issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Done would mean agreeing on selectable rule sets such as minimum safety, basic design, and recommended design, then covering the grouping behavior with tests.
