Description
From http://fauxpasapp.com/rules/#rule-SuspiciousDateTimeFormat
Warns about date-time formats that are likely to have unintentional behavior, e.g. “week-year” specifiers (uppercase Y) instead of normal calendar year specifiers (lowercase y).

Research direction
Start with the SuspiciousDateTimeFormat specification at the linked fauxpasapp.com rule page, then inspect SwiftLint's existing rule implementations and tests to find the appropriate entry points. Done means date-time formats using likely unintended specifiers, such as uppercase week-year Y instead of lowercase calendar-year y, are reported consistently.
