      #   Note that this cop may flag false positives; for instance, the following legal
      #   use of a hand-rolled `OpenStruct` type would be considered an offense:
      #
      #   ```
      #   module MyNamespace
      #     class OpenStruct # not the OpenStruct we're looking for
      #     end
      #
      #     def new_struct
      #       OpenStruct.new # resolves to MyNamespace::OpenStruct
      #     end
      #   end
      #   ```
      #
      # @example
      #
      #   # bad
      #   point = OpenStruct.new(x: 0, y: 1)
      #
      #   # good
      #   Point = Struct.new(:x, :y)
      #   point = Point.new(0, 1)
      #
      #   # also good
      #   point = { x: 0, y: 1 }
      #
      #   # bad
      #   test_double = OpenStruct.new(a: 'b')
      #
      #   # good (assumes test using rspec-mocks)
      #   test_double = double
      #   allow(test_double).to receive(:a).and_return('b')
