/**
 * Rule that calculates the Cyclomatic Complexity for methods/classes and checks against
 * configured threshold values.
 * 
 * The maxMethodComplexity property holds the threshold value for the cyclomatic complexity
 * value for each method. If this value is non-zero, a method with a cyclomatic complexity value greater than
 * this value is considered a violation. The maxMethodComplexity property defaults to 20.
 * 

 * The maxClassAverageMethodComplexity property holds the threshold value for the average cyclomatic
 * complexity value for each class. If this value is non-zero, a class with an average cyclomatic complexity
 * value greater than this value is considered a violation. The maxClassAverageMethodComplexity property
 * defaults to 20.
 * 

 * The maxClassComplexity property holds the threshold value for the total cyclomatic
 * complexity value for each class. If this value is non-zero, a class with a total cyclomatic complexity
 * value greater than this value is considered a violation. The maxClassComplexity property
 * defaults to 0.
 * 

 * The ignoreMethodNames property optionally specifies one or more (comma-separated) method
 * names that should be ignored (i.e., that should not cause a rule violation). The name(s) may optionally
 * include wildcard characters ('*' or '?'). Note that the ignored methods still contribute to the class
 * complexity value.
 * 
 * This rule treats "closure fields" as methods. If a class field is initialized to a Closure (ClosureExpression),
 * then that Closure is analyzed and checked just like a method.
 *
