      The ABC size describes a metric based on assignments, branches and conditions.

      A high ABC size is a hint that a function might be doing "more" than it
      should.

      As always: Take any metric with a grain of salt. Since this one was originally
      introduced for C, C++ and Java, we still have to see whether or not this can
      be a useful metric in a declarative language like Elixir.
