 Since WordPressCS employs many sniffs that are part of PHP_CodeSniffer itself or PHPCSExtra, sometimes an issue will be caused by a bug in PHPCS or PHPCSExtra and not in WordPressCS itself.
 If the error message in question doesn't come from a sniff whose name starts with `WordPress`, the issue is probably a bug in PHPCS or PHPCSExtra.
