Pattern: Unnecessary else

Issue: -

Description

Disallows else blocks following if blocks ending with a break, continue, return, or throw statement.

Rationale: When an if block is guaranteed to exit control flow when entered, it is unnecessary to add an else statement. The contents that would be in the else block can be placed after the end of the if block.
