Closes #888

Unchecked type assertions results can (and will) result in an unexpected panic and should be a lint.
This new rule covers this with configurable non-default option to ignore foo, _ := bar.(Baz) - cases where the ok value is ignored.

See tests.

@chavacava I can, but I think this should be a part of the tests ;)

I totally agree! Unfortunately I am a bit short of time this week but will work on the suggested ideas ASAP.

It's all good from my POV (just a small issue in the test case). Good job 👍

Just one thing came to my mind now, probably this is still left out (sorry, can't check it now): channel <- v.(int).

It could be interesting to list all the cases the rule is capable to detect (switch, channel, ...)

u.Lock()
defer u.Unlock()

if len(arguments) == 0 {

We could add a configured field to the rule's struct to trace the rule's configuration was already processed and then quit ASAP once the rule was configured a first time.

Suggested change
if len(arguments) == 0 {
if len(arguments) == 0 || u.configured {
