      # Checks that predicate methods end with `?` and non-predicate methods do not.
      #
      # The names of predicate methods (methods that return a boolean value) should end
      # in a question mark. Methods that don't return a boolean, shouldn't
      # end in a question mark.
      #
      # The cop assesses a predicate method as one that returns boolean values. Likewise,
      # a method that only returns literal values is assessed as non-predicate. Other predicate
      # method calls are assumed to return boolean values. The cop does not make an assessment
      # if the return type is unknown (non-predicate method calls, variables, etc.).
      #
      # NOTE: Operator methods (`def ==`, etc.) are ignored.
      #
      # By default, the cop runs in `conservative` mode, which allows a method to be named
      # with a question mark as long as at least one return value is boolean. In `aggressive`
      # mode, methods with a question mark will register an offense if any known non-boolean
      # return values are detected.
      #
      # The cop also has `AllowedMethods` configuration in order to prevent the cop from
      # registering an offense from a method name that does not confirm to the naming
      # guidelines. By default, `call` is allowed. The cop also has `AllowedPatterns`
      # configuration to allow method names by regular expression.
      #
      # Although returning a call to another predicate method is treated as a boolean value,
      # certain method names can be known to not return a boolean, despite ending in a `?`
      # (for example, `Numeric#nonzero?` returns `self` or `nil`). These methods can be
      # configured using `NonBooleanPredicates`.
      #
      # The cop can furthermore be configured to allow all bang methods (method names
      # ending with `!`), with `AllowBangMethods: true` (default false).
      #
      # @example Mode: conservative (default)
      #   # bad
      #   def foo
      #     bar == baz
      #   end
      #
