      # Newcomers to ruby applications may write top-level methods,
      # when ideally they should be organized in appropriate classes or modules.
      # This cop looks for definitions of top-level methods and warns about them.
      #
      # However for ruby scripts it is perfectly fine to use top-level methods.
      # Hence this cop is disabled by default.

      # @example
      #   # bad
      #   def some_method
      #   end
      #
      #   # bad
      #   def self.some_method
      #   end
      #
      #   # bad
      #   define_method(:foo) { puts 1 }
      #
      #   # good
      #   module Foo
      #     def some_method
      #     end
