//  Check that Objective C properties are set with the setter, not though a
//      direct assignment.
//
//  Two versions of a checker exist: one that checks all methods and the other
//      that only checks the methods annotated with
//      __attribute__((annotate("objc_no_direct_instance_variable_assignment")))
//
//  The checker does not warn about assignments to Ivars, annotated with
//       __attribute__((objc_allow_direct_instance_variable_assignment"))). This
//      annotation serves as a false positive suppression mechanism for the
//      checker. The annotation is allowed on properties and Ivars.
