How Has This Been Tested?

AI Disclosure

  • I am a human and didn't use any AI.
  • I used LLM features of my editor, but not an agent.
  • I consulted one or more coding AIs, but didn't use an agent.
  • I used an AI agent interactively.
  • I am an agent or I got an agent to do the work autonomously.

If Your PR Implements or Enhances a Linter

  • I made up the sentences in the unit tests.
  • The sentences in the unit tests were generated by an AI.
  • I'm using examples from the bug report / feature request.
  • I collected real-world sentences for the unit tests.

Checklist

  • I have performed a self-review of my own code
  • I have added tests to cover my changes
  • I have considered splitting this into smaller pull requests.

Add the `MakeUseOf` Weir rule, correcting the eggcorn `us of` to `use of`
in the idiom `make use of` (e.g. "making us of them" → "making use of
them"). Enabled in the curated default config.
