Is

DontDowncastCollectionTypes

naming as per other rule naming convention? Like for when we want to warn against casting to nullable type we say that rule as

CastToNullableType

. So shouldn't the name of

DontDowncastCollectionTypes

be

DowncastToCollectionTypes

?

We lack of a guideline or convention for name our rules. Now that we are taking more seriously 2.0 it would be good to have one.

So true :(

I think it would be good to have a naming guide. However, Priority is kind of low. As long as new rules have a sound name and describe the intention of the rule, detekt's shipped rulesets are fine, IMHO.

Sometimes inconsistent name hides the actual intention of the rule especially for someone who is much more familiar with the rules and creates a mental mode of rule name to implementation. But I agree to @Brais Gabin that it would require a deep thought to it
