027/**
028 * <p>
029 * Finds nested blocks (blocks that are used freely in the code).
030 * </p>
031 * <p>
032 * Rationale: Nested blocks are often leftovers from the
033 * debugging process, they confuse the reader.
034 * </p>
035 * <p>
036 * For example, this check finds the obsolete braces in
037 * </p>
038 * <pre>
039 * public void guessTheOutput()
040 * {
041 *   int whichIsWhich = 0;
042 *   {
043 *     whichIsWhich = 2;
044 *   }
045 *   System.out.println("value = " + whichIsWhich);
046 * }
047 * </pre>
048 * <p>
049 * and debugging / refactoring leftovers such as
050 * </p>
051 * <pre>
052 * // if (conditionThatIsNotUsedAnyLonger)
053 * {
054 *   System.out.println("unconditional");
055 * }
056 * </pre>
057 * <p>
058 * A case in a switch statement does not implicitly form a block.
059 * Thus to be able to introduce local variables that have case scope
060 * it is necessary to open a nested block. This is supported, set
061 * the allowInSwitchCase property to true and include all statements
062 * of the case in the block.
063 * </p>
064 * <ul>
065 * <li>
066 * Property {@code allowInSwitchCase} - Allow nested blocks if they are the
067 * only child of a switch case.
068 * Type is {@code boolean}.
069 * Default value is {@code false}.
070 * </li>
071 * </ul>
072 * <p>
073 * To configure the check:
074 * </p>
075 * <pre>
076 * &lt;module name="AvoidNestedBlocks"/&gt;
077 * </pre>
078 * <p>
079 * Example:
080 * </p>
081 * <pre>
082 * public void foo() {
083 *   int myInteger = 0;
084 *   {                      // violation
085 *     myInteger = 2;
086 *   }
087 *   System.out.println("myInteger = " + myInteger);
088 *
089 *   switch (a) {
090 *     case 1:
091 *       {                    // violation
092 *         System.out.println("Case 1");
093 *         break;
094 *       }
095 *     case 2:
096 *       System.out.println("Case 2");     // OK
097 *       break;
098 *   }
099 * }
100 * </pre>
101 * <p>
102 * To configure the check to allow nested blocks in switch case:
103 * </p>
104 * <pre>
105 * &lt;module name=&quot;AvoidNestedBlocks&quot;&gt;
106 *   &lt;property name=&quot;allowInSwitchCase&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;/&gt;
107 * &lt;/module&gt;
108 * </pre>
109 * <p>
110 * Example:
111 * </p>
112 * <pre>
113 * public void foo() {
114 *   int myInteger = 0;
115 *   {                      // violation
116 *     myInteger = 2;
117 *   }
118 *   System.out.println("myInteger = " + myInteger);
119 *
120 *   switch (a)
121 *   {
122 *     case 1:
123 *       {                    // OK
124 *         System.out.println("Case 1");
125 *         break;
126 *       }
127 *     case 2:
128 *       System.out.println("Case 2");     // OK
129 *       break;
130 *   }
