### Introduction

This sniffs was created during the development for [TYPO3](http://typo3.org/) / [FLOW3](http://flow3.typo3.org/) [CodingStandard](http://forge.typo3.org/projects/team-php_codesniffer).
Due to our previous contact via email, we have renamed them to implement this into the Generic Standard. This sniff is backed by a unit test and are well tested by our [Jenkins installation](https://ci.typo3.org/) and own every day usage.
