      Each cond statement should have 3 or more statements including the
      "always true" statement.

      Consider an `if`/`else` construct if there is only one condition and the
      "always true" statement, since it will more accessible to programmers
      new to the codebase (and possibly new to Elixir).

      Example:

          cond do
            x == y -> 0
            true -> 1
          end

          # should be written as

            0

            1
