Pattern: Explicit call to power()
Issue: -
This rule detects when the power(Object) method is called directly in code instead of using the ** operator. A groovier way to express this: a.power(b) is this: a ** b. This rule can be configured to ignore this.power(Object) using the ignoreThisReference property. It defaults to false, so even power(x) will trigger a violation.
This rule also ignores all calls to super.power(Object).
