Current challenge:
TextBlockGoogleStyleFormatting: we decided not to use the depreciated `getLine` method and now I'm working on AST-based logic and it is more complicated than I expected.

This week's plan:

I plan on continuing working on the new check majorly because it will take most time of all other issues in the project. I will keep fixing minor issues in parallel.
