/**
* @name Missing docstring
* @description Omitting documentation strings from public classes, functions or methods
* makes it more difficult for other developers to maintain the code.
* @kind problem
* @tags maintainability
* readability
* @problem.severity recommendation
* @sub-severity low
* @precision medium

/*
* NOTE: precision of 'medium' reflects the lack of precision in the underlying rule.
* Do we care whether a function has a docstring? That often depends on the reader of that docstring.
