Description

Description

Indexing in a map (e.g. someMap.[x]) is the same as using Map.Item, which is flagged by FSharpLint already (https://github.com/fsprojects/FSharpLint/commit/e4dcdaed07ca4c4145e8aa71cac1d02014df8a3d). We should flag indexing too.

Research direction

Start with the existing Map.Item lint implementation referenced in the issue and trace how it identifies partial-function use. Check how F# map indexing such as someMap.[x] is represented and covered by the linter’s tests. Done means equivalent map-indexing expressions are flagged consistently with Map.Item.
