The languages for this rule fall into two categories: * CFamily, JS, and PLSQL: "Variables should not be shadowed" (general case of shadowing) * C#, Flex, Java, PHP, Swift: "Local variables should not shadow field/property/enum case/..." (narrow case of shadowing) For CFamily, these tickets are also handled: CPP-2785 CPP-3589

== Why is this an issue?

Variable shadowing happens when a variable declared in a specific scope has the same name as a variable in an outer scope.

To avoid these problems, rename the shadowing, shadowed, or both variables to accurately represent their purpose with unique and meaningful names.
