// TextStructureLintRule implements a lint rule that operates on an entire
// TextStructureView.  This is appropriate for rules that need access to
// **more than one** of the following forms: lines, tokens, syntax-tree,
// or for rules that can implemented efficiently enough without having to
// traverse any of the aforementioned forms in their entirety.
// If your analysis only traverses one of those forms, it is more efficient
// to use a form-specific linter/lint_rule (LineLinter, SyntaxTreeLinter,
// TokenStreamLinter) because it traverses those forms in a single-pass over
// multiple rules.
//
// Use a TextStructureLintRule if:
// * Your analysis looks at both syntax tree and comments together.
// * Your analysis looks at only the first or last line.
// * Your analysis looks at only the leftmost/rightmost syntax tree nodes.
