Summary
This PR adds a new rule to prefer using a generated Equatable implementation when comparing all properties of a type. For structs, prefer using the compiler-synthesized Equatable implementation when possible.
This rule is implemented by the new
redundantEquatable
SwiftFormat rule added in nicklockwood/SwiftFormat#1891.Reasoning
Manually-implemented Equatable implementations are verbose, and keeping them up-to-date is error-prone. For example, when adding a new property, it's possible to forget to update the Equatable implementation to compare it.
