/**
 * This file checks if a method can be made static without causing any errors.
 *
 * It hooks into these events:
 *
 * - analyzeMethod
 *   Once all classes are parsed, this method will be called
 *   on every method in the code base
 *
 * - analyzeFunction
 *   Once all classes and functions are parsed, this method will be called
 *   on every function in the code base
 *
 * - finalizeProcess
 *   Once the analysis phase is complete, this method will be called
 *
 * A plugin file must
 *
 * - Contain a class that inherits from \Phan\PluginV3
 *
 * - End by returning an instance of that class.
 *
 * It is assumed without being checked that plugins aren't
 * mangling state within the passed code base or context.
 *
 * Note: When adding new plugins,
 * add them to the corresponding section of README.md
