redundantInit causes "initializing from a metatype value must reference 'init' explicitly"

[marcelofabri]

Given this code:

let a = Module.configuration.loggingEventBatchType.init(
   anyEvents: eventsToUpload
)

0.53.6 removes the .init, causing an error:

error: initializing from a metatype value must reference 'init' explicitly

loggingEventBatchType is defined as AnyLoggingEventBatch.Type

There's currently not really a way for SwiftFormat to detect this case since it doesn't have access to type information. The best option for now would be to disable the rule, either globally or locally using:

// swiftformat:disable:next redundantInit
let a = Module.configuration.loggingEventBatchType.init(
   anyEvents: eventsToUpload
)

@marcelofabri I realized on reflection that the existing heuristic I use to avoid false positives for redundantInit ought to handle this case as well, so I've pushed a fix to develop that should solve it

@marcelofabri fixed in 0.53.7
