$null should be on the left side of equality

[0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF]

Summary of the new feature

I have this code

if ($var1 -eq $null) {
    $var1 = $var2
}

And the analyzer tells me:

$null should be on the left side of equality comparisons.PSScriptAnalyzer(PSPossibleIncorrectComparisonWithNull)

In fact, the tradition to put the value on the left side of the comparison comes from the confusion between the assignment operator and the equality operator, = and == in C-like languages. In PowerShell, the assignment operator is =, and the equality operator is -eq. So it's impossible to confuse them. And put the variable on the left side of the comparison is more readable and natural. Should we remove this rule from the analyzer?

We don't plan to remove this rule by default, but you can suppress this rule by adding -ExcludeRule PSPossibleIncorrectComparisonWithNull to you Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer cmdlet.

Thanks for the clarification.
