as in ‘0.times { it() }`, following `Lint/ItWithoutArgumentsInBlock` cop.
NOTE: This cop allows the use of `it()` without arguments in blocks,
By default, there are no allowed methods.
This cop’s allowed methods can be customized with ‘AllowedMethods`.
Checks for unwanted parentheses in parameterless method calls.
