I added a rule which enforces to use type aliases for union and intersection types. I found myself that when I use them in their "raw" or "explicit" (or how to call it?) form I ended up with copy&pasting them all over the code where they were needed. This was true especially when I didn't know they will be needed somewhere else first and this requirement came afterwards. I know that not using copy&paste of code is kind of developer's responsibility and elementary "skill" but laziness sometimes wins.
The name of the rule can be discussed. We have already
union-intersection-spacing
rule so using compound type phrase is a little inconsistency. Also I don't know if it is clear what is meant by compound type for the first look.
