+         * is necessary to avoid providing a suggestion that might cause a syntax error.

+         *     if (a) { console.log(b) }, removing console.log() here is acceptable.

+         * Additionally, it checks if the callee of the CallExpression node is
+         * the node itself.

+         * eg. foo(console.log), cannot provide a suggestion here.
