disallowArrowFunctions

Disallows arrow functions.

Why enable this rule? Arrow functions might cause more problems than they solve:

• Object-orientation may be better without ECMAScript's this.
• You can't name an arrow function.
• Arrow functions' syntax can cause maintenance issues; see disallowShorthandArrowFunctions.
• Arrow functions shouldn't be used on prototypes, as objects' methods, as event listeners, or as anything polymorhpic- or mixin-related. See here.
